Yeah, I saw that movie a little late. I saw it probably when I was 18 or something. It was one of those movies where I felt like such an idiot because I had obviously heard about it for years and years. And then you see it and you’re like, “This is great!” and you feel like you’ve discovered something because it’s so great and you want to tell your friends about it, and they’re like, “Yeah, we know, idiot. We’ve been telling you to see it forever.” That same kind of thing happened with Terms of Endearment, and it’s like, “Oh right, there’s a reason that The Breakfast Club and Terms of Endearment are some of the most popular movies of all time.”

Oh, what movie makes me cry? Terms of Endearment. Obviously.

Movie Night Classics: Annie Hall, Terms of Endearment, On Golden Pond, and Young Frankenstein.

My favorite movie is 'Terms of Endearment.'

Obvious, I know. Everything about this movie is so good and so sad. Debra Winger is an acting angel in this. Her performance is one of the most real performances I have ever seen in my entire life. But the moment when she calls her sons in to say goodbye to them? Hell no. Or as Whitney Houston would say: Hell to the no. I can’t even type about it right now because it is so goddamn sad. I was not an adult or a mother when I first watched that scene and I turned into a puddle. I think if I watched that scene today I would die from a crying overdose.
