I watch this movie every year..., 18 June 2002
10/10
Author: scaron-2 from Sherbrooke, Canada

I don't know what it is with this movie but I watch it every years and it just feels good! I think the movie magic happens with the incredible casting. You see and feel the emotions of every character. It's an ordinary story that is believable and that is the reflection of an era.
