Beaches (DVD) ... released 05 May, 2003 at Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainm / Features of the DVD: PAL / Garry Marshall's 1988 drama about a 30-year friendship between two women, one wealthy (Barbara Hershey) and the other (Bette Midler) seeking her fortune in show business, is well written (based on the novel by Iris Rainer Dart) and nicely textured in its contrast between the characters' separate destinies. When Hershey becomes ill with cancer, the film takes a predictably sentimental course, yet Marshall brings out the best in both actresses and catches some very fine drama. Beaches is a little too long, perhaps, but overall it is a fine experience. --Tom Keogh

Does anyone else have a film which they watched when they were very young which stuck with them throughout adulthood. Well mine is this film Beaches, I think I was way too young to watch the film at the time, but I fell in love with it, it had me in tears and I loved every thing about it and still to this day, maybe 10 years later, I still adore this film as much as I did then. ------------ The Plot ------------- The film follows two young girls CC Bloom and Hilary Whitney, both from different sides of the spectrum, Hilary is from a rich family and CC is an out of work actress who has to deal with her mother who is annoying. The girls ...

This film is great. It is all about the friendship of two female best friends, who've known each other since they were young but have now broken off. They meet again, and go away from each other again many times, and the film has many twists and turns and has a very, very sad ending which you will be in tears at! This film is regularly repeated on ITV and is available to rent or buy on video very cheaply as it's quite old. ...

I first saw beaches when it came out on video and i think i have worn by tape out watching it since. It is a real weepy and if i need to have a good cry I always watch this film. It moves me every time at exactly the same place and although i know whats coming and when it always gets me. It also a film that really makes you think about life and your own life and what you make of it. I would give this a definite thumbs up, not only woudl i recommend it to a friend i'd buy a big bucket of popcorn, some icecream and a box of tissues to watch it with them. ...
