 Girl In The Basement(LIfetime-Amazon Prime) 

I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with this movie right now.  It's based on a (mixture of) true story(s), which I love.  I love people-watching and trying to figure out what makes them tick.  Her strength and ability to adapt so she could survive to amaze me.

 

Steel Magnolias (Orginal)

I can see this movie from 2 points of view: Someone who is a disabled woman who really wanted children I can see Shelby's passion. In the scene where she tells M'lyn she is pregnant, M'lyn said "You're special, Shelby, they are limits to what you can do!"  I think  I would have gone off on my Mama

On the other hand, as a mother, my first reaction would be to protect my daughter-no matter how old she was.  I would never give up on her; holding her hand till her very last breath.

One of my best friends, Molly Poss, played M'lynn in her high school's rendition of Steel Magnolias.  She did so well!

Beaches (Orginal)

This movie shows us the two different types of friendships.  Most of us have a serious side that is ultra-focused and future-success-driven.  Then we have the side of us that is this creative, fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants type of person.  These types of people can also be the ones who step to raise the child of their best friend after she dies

Step -`Mom

OK, this one gets me every time!!!  What woman would be OK with her ex-husband's lover taking care of her children?  As a teenager, my stepmom was not my favorite person.  It's hard to see your dad with someone who isn't your mother.  Then, one top of that, knowing that you're going to die and that woman  who is going to be the  most prominent woman in your children's life 

Maybe I just like movies where of the heroines die.
