This is the topic for discussing the movie "Truly, Madly, Deeply".
The first couple of replies were moved from the "Emma" topic.

    See it!  But be forewarned that the first half hour really drags, and
    you do get a little tired of the tears hanging off the end of Nina's
    nose :-)
    
    It's a quirky (my kinda genre) film with unique slants on
    death/afterlife, some wonderful who-knows-why-they're-here characters
    and (quoting a review from the ?Globe?), one of the all-time-great movie
    "first dates".  Hey, any film with two principal characters singing
    Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You" to each other can't be all bad.

I really liked this movie, not the least because of the female lead
character's name... :-)

    Thanks, Nina... sorry, I just got carried away with the "Emma" tie-in.
    
    TMD is probably one of my top 15 favorite movies, the plodding first
    half-hour notwithstanding.  I still get teary, laugh out loud and sing
    along, hopefully at the appropriate times :-) , plus I have a crush on
    practically all the men in it.
    
    ...well, maybe not the video guys :-)

1163.5And it had Alan Rickman. STAR::65320::RIVERSNo commentFri Sep 06 1996 17:1210
    This film is the first one I noticed realistic crying in.  She cried
    like people really do, runny nose, blotchy face, everything.  No
    glycerine tears, this lady.  You could believe she'd really bawled her
    eyes out.  Most people who cry in movies don't end up looking half as
    bad as those of us who've cried in real life. :)

    Try to see "Maybe I'll Come Home In The Spring", an old Sally Field movie, 
    sometime.   She looked *terrible*.  It was great!

    This is one of my all-time favorite movies.  So much so, that
    I bought it.  Alan Rickman is one of my favorites.
    
    Note:  he won the Emmy last night for best actor in a made for
           TV movie I think - It was for Rasputin on HBO - well
           deserved in my opinion.

    	I was hoping Gary Sinise would win that for "Truman", although
    	that was the only 1 of the nominees that I'd seen.
