Product: Peggy Sue Got Married [VHS] (1986)
Rating: 5.0
What was it like when my Mom and Dad got married?
I have added it to my list of movies to make me smile when when the world is most challenging - The American President, While You Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Splash, Father of the Bride and many other heart warmers. This movie takes you back. It historically captures the times of the Baby Boomer's Mom and Dad's highschool graduation. It also allows you to happily close your eyes and imagine the possibility of seeing, speaking with and hugging those you've lost over the decades. The story is very tender, endearing and sensitive. I was surprised when I saw that it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola (who also owns my favorite Napa vineyard, Neibaum-Coppola, where my favorite Merlot is produced). There is no darkness, violence or eeriness. Only light joy, touching moments and the meaning of family. What would you do differently, if you had another chance?
