I used to buy VHS movies but I rarely watch a movie again. Then when DVDs came out I kept having an urge to buy them but would remind myself that I don't watch them so don't waste your money. Now of course everything is on demand which is cool but not my point. This movie is actually a movie I have seen more than once. It came out in 1996 and I first saw it at the movie theater. My poor memory and yet I remember it clearly. I saw it at the Nickelodeon on Comm Ave behind BU. I went by myself as I heard it was a good movie. So that is an understatement. Very sweet and nice and optimistic but not in an unrealistic Disney sense. Quirky with British humour. It really made me smile, feel at peace and gave me hope. Bittersweet to see such a wonderful movie alone but that did not detract from my appreciation of the film I also remember years down the road saying to him that I wanted to watch this movie with him as it was really good and very special. His review was "Yeah it was good. They talk funny". So seeing it alone the first time guess not that bittersweet. Well I eventually did buy it on DVD because it is a rare gem. I then lent that DVD to a coworker and it never came back. I just recently bought it again. So I rarely buy movies and now I have purchased this one twice. It just arrived and I look forward to watching it again. Wow and 20 years on and I will watch it alone again. Hmmm, not sure what that says but not everything has to say something. Oh and there is this sweet scene with Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion. Really sweet. Tender is the right word. Well I bought him the Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion. Me trying to make fantasy be reality. Oh I am hopeless :) In writing this it dawned on me that some how that foot lotion ended up with me. My house is chaos and yet I knew exactly where it was. I went and pulled it out of the draw. All these years. I don't use it but could not before throw it out. Today I looked at it, so silly I thought. I then tossed it in the trash. No importance. No connection. Watch this movie. It will make you feel young and sweet and happy.
