AM I THE ONLY ONE? - Pollyanna (1960) Discussion

Well, I'm not "crying like a baby"
(maybe I've seen this movie a million times more than I should ;) ),
but I do still get pretty teary eyed...pretty much throughout! ;D

I think the sermon gets me, the "America, the Beautiful" song,
the Glad game (every time it's mentioned), and don't forget--

"When you look for the worst in people, you will surely find it" quote by
Abraham Lincoln..."he was the President..."

Get out the tissues...

Be well...

Oh yeah, from the moment they discover her on the ground after the fall the tears are in my eyes until the end of the movie.

The other scenes that tug at my heartstrings are when she tells Mrs. Snow she doesn't want to visit her anymore, and when Mrs. Snow makes sure she gets the doll in the fishing game.

I cried during that scene too. Especially when Pollyanna looks at her aunt and says "Aunt Polly..." and they hug each other. It gets me every time.

Pollyanna is a fun movie...even if it is packed with "capracorn"!

No ... you're not alone ... I also whimper like a school girl when Hayley tells Agnes Moorehead she's not coming back anymore (the coffin fitting scene).

Yep ... very good stuff.

i agree with all the scenes that everyone mentioned here! i, at the very least, get choked up and also watery eyes at them. : (

but, there is one scene that REALLY gets me that no one has mentioned yet: it's actually when a group of people and pollyanna are on the hayride back to their homes after the bazaar has ended. the night is so serene and all is beautiful, and pollyanna & the others are singing the gorgeous song "i'll take you home again kathleen". pollyanna is dropped off at her house; the other people say and wave good-bye to her, and she waves and says good-bye to them. they were all so happy, and pollyanna was SO very happy -- she had just had the happiest time of her life -- and it's just like you know the inevitable is coming really soon...that she's going to fall and then she becomes jaded! =[[[[

I cry every time. I've seen this movie many, many times and the scene always has an effect on me.

All of these Disney films get to me- maybe because I was a kid when they were first on TV.
