i remember watching this movie as a kid and thinking it was great. It still is great, i still get that sad icky feeling when i watch it. I know its just a movie, but how could anyone do something that terrible. Jessica Tandy put in a great performance, maked it worth watching.
shareI know what you mean...I always dread the bit when Carlos smashes the male Fixer... *sob*

*SUCH* an amazing film! Really takes me back to the days when I was small... and yep, Jessica and Hume were a great couple.
I always watch this film every year on Christmas day. I have no idea why, but it's very much my Christmas film.
This is terrible to say but too bad the fix-its couldn't have fixed Jessica Tandy's dementia.
I almost cry every time I see this movie.
I remember watching this movie EVERY DAY when I was in primary (or maybe even younger) my parents thought I was going mental....hehehe.
I always had respect for the 'male' flying saucer, thought it was cool with the red eyes and all...and still remember having it as an imaginary friend...eheheheh how lame but it shows how well this movie affected the audience. Or at least mental cases like me....hehehe..
A classic low profiler for sure.
I watched this movie when I was really little. The crazy old lady was hilarious. She still thought her sons were 5 year olds and they were in their 40's lol.
shareMy mom is currently getting worse and Jessica Tandy's character reminds me of how my mom is becoming. I thought I was the only one who cried at this "comedy" (I use that term loosely because I don't believe comedies should make you cry [except from stomach pains]).
In fact, I was talking to my cousin tonight about my mom and this movie popped in my head. I was trying to explain this movie to my cousin and started crying. I had to stop a few times to regain my composure and I'm a 45 year old male. I think if you don't cry while watching this movie, you are a robot!
I think the movie's sentimental value overwhelmes the comedy, at least for us "non-robots" who actually have emotions. A true classic that always brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it (it's on HBO right now), *batteries not included says so much more than most people take it for.
