I must own! (along with "Jane Eyre" and "What's Up Doc" of which I still have not acquired)
I don't think any other movie has given me cause to emote so frequently. (that was the ugliest sentence)
But seriously, heartfelt, tearful emotions almost every scene.
Let's see...
-when Thomas Lyned dies
-when she rejects Gilbert
-when she accepts Gilbert
-when Gilbert's dying
-when Morgan proposes
-when she returns to Avonlea
-when she invites miserable Katherine Brooke back to Avonlea (extremely compelling)
The underlying messages of the story are just... pure bliss.
-Go about doing good despite how wretched people can be.
-The things that make you the happiest are the people you love, your home.
-The power of long term relationships: I love that Marilla would rather have her insufferable neighbor, Rachel Lynd, board with her than see her leave because she'd been her closest neighbor for 40 years.
This is my favorite picture of Anne and Gilbert because they both look so... naturally happy.

Mm-hmm, it is a must-own. I can't believe you hadn't seen it until now. So do you want to go to Prince Edward Island with me?
Please!
Total agreement!
Definatly one of my favorite movies! I keep telling Dave that one of these days he will buy it for me.
One of my favorites. I was actually thinking the other day that I needed to watch it again. If only the world was full of people like Anne with an E. :)

What's Up Doc is another of my favorites too! Wow. I love Barbara. Except in Yentel. That movie was just kind of weird.
