This movie brings back sweet memories

I haven't watched this in a few years, but I remember watching it a few times as a child (I'm 20 now) .. I was obsessed. It was one of the first movies that captivated me in. The first time I saw it was when I was 7 .. it played on TV and I was sucked in. That's impressive for a child.

And for a few years after that I rented it a few times. I tried searching for it in video stores but to no avail (I don't live in the states, so there's no video rental store every 1 km)

This movie made me feel oh-so good and fuzzy, especially during the ending where the song 'if you wanna be happy for the erst of your life' by jimmy soul plays.

Thinking about this movie makes me feel sweetly melancholic ... it reminds me of the goodness of the 90s, the goodness of my childhood, the goodness of cher & winona ryder and especially christina ricci (she was so adorable in this movie, you want to scoop her up)

especially the early 90's. lotsa memories.

i third all that. i find a lot of movies i watched with my mom when i was young i still like watching now, which is more enjoyable, because i get all the lines and dirty jokes or innuedos i would never have guessed.

I just finished watching it with my mom.
It's such a great movie, if you're ever feeling down, this is a great escape movie.
Also watching it the relationship between Mrs.Flax, Charlotte, and Kate is so similar to the one I have with my mother and younger sister.
