This was one of just a handful of movies I can remember seeing at that age but I can still remember how I felt watching it. Even as a 10 year old, the emotions that welled up in me int he scene where he sung the title song was tremendous. Strangely enough I don't recall feeling that way during a movie until seeing Ghost!
