I can't even think of Philadelphia without wanting to burst into tears. It's such a powerful movie. It really questions the audiences beliefs particularly considering what the world was like in 1993. I was only 13 so I really didn't get the grand political situation at the time but I still knew that it challenged my thinking.

Philadelphia is one of those movies that can make me straight up bawl -- not just get teary-eyed, but actual snotty, sobbing bawling. All it takes is this song really.

I need to see Philadelphia now.

Me too. It is at the library, or was on the afternoon before this played on npr
