Never tire of this film
I have seen this wonderful film so many times and love the way it portrays the child-mother bond and the complex relationships between women. I'm not a fan of Julia Roberts but in this film she really packs a punch as the young woman with diabetes trying to get as much out of her life as possible. Shirley Maclaine is a joy to watch as always - brilliantly acerbic with some great one-liners..."My he's such a gentleman, I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it!". Dolly Parton is stunning to look at and proves she can be a very sensitive actor.This film is to be explored and enjoyed so I wont describe any further so as not to spoil this journey....you'd have to be as hard as nails not to feel Sally Field's distress towards the end of the film, I have yet to see the end credits without tears streaming down my face. 'Life goes on'....

Steel Magnolias
Steel Magnolias [DVD] [1990]One of my top ten films - this is a true gem and what a cast - I have lost count of the number of times I have seen this on TV, but I never tire of it. There are amazing performances from everyone and I have cried one minute and laughed the next in some parts of this ( Shelbys Funeral) classic example - to break to tension and lighten the mood - when Saly Fields says "I just want to hit someone" Olympia Dukakis grabs Shirley Mclaine and says " hit her" classic! the story is all based around a beauty parlour in Lousianna and thats where it really all revolves- some of it is very sad and makes you cry, but as I say there some very very funny moments - one of my favourite bits is where Shelby Junior, gives Shirley Mclaine a good slap round the face, as he had just been told she was a mean nasty old witch!! hilarious - watch -cry laugh and enjoy!

Perfect quality DVD, Rubbish film
I spent the whole time watching waiting for it to start, I think there are several plots that needed greater exploration, it was like an opening chapter of a book, but no middle or end.
