I have finished watching Beaches, and it was a challenge at times. I found bits of the story so emotional. I really love the movie, and I know I have not seen it for years. I suspect that I have not seen it since I recorded the movie, which was from before Channel 7 had Today Tonight.

I suspect that this movie was partially a vehicle for Bette Midler to show her singing ability. Which this movie did. It also showed her acting ability – and you could just see her personality come through.

I will have to get this movie on DVD as soon as the special edition is released in Australia.
