Out on DVD?


I really loved this movie. Thought that the relationship between Whoopi and Neil Patrick Harris was very moving. Do others feel that way? Does anybody know if this movie will be coming out on DVD. AMOVIELOVER

hi amovielover

i'm so happy i found someone who really loved this movie as much as i do. i did inquire at blockbuster and amazon.com with no luck regarding the dvd. i'll keep searching. i certainly feel the same way you do about whoopi and neil patrick harris and i loved the scenery in port antonio, jamaica, where david's parents went on "their" vacation. i found the part when david was getting his hair cut very funny. his imitations of jamaican accents were hilarious. i am really surprised this movie did not do so well. i do watch it frequently. i feel very sad about spalding grey - his acting was also very good in clara's heart. well, let's just keep hoping a dvd will soon be available.

This was just on HBO today and I wasn't going to watch it because I was going to rent it from NetFlix instead, but I ran into the same problem that you did as well; it's just NOT on DVD. So, I chose to watch it, and I'm really happy that I did, because it's really a good movie and I don't know why it has better ratings on the IMDB scale, but that's the way things go I guess.

I've really just started watching it and it seems pretty darned good so far, so I think I made the right choice to watch it.

This was a beautiful movie.......I LOVE IT!! Maybe if we all wrote to Warner Brothers and asked for a DVD version, well I mean if several of us did it.....maybe they would see the interest.
Is there anyway to transfer from VHS format to DVD?
I haven't been able to catch this on tv in awhile but I like the other person, watch it everytime it does come on.

Yeah, apparently it's not out on DVD; I went on a mad hunt for it a few days ago. I have it on VHS from when it came on TV sometime AGES ago and I agree with the rest of you: it truly is an amazing movie. There are just so many levels to it, so much emotion, so many different dynamics, and that unusual friendship between a Jamaican housekeeper and her young, white charge becomes very touching due to Goldberg's and Harris' amazing performances. This is one of those movies I can just watch over and over again without ever getting bored. It seems that each time I see it some new aspect jumps out at me. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's hooked. :)

Ok so its out on DVD in Germany - but is it still in ENGLISH? I can't even speak German so a DVD in German is useless to me - but I and a friend of mine want the movie - preferably on DVD as VHS is ultimately going the way of the dinosaur.

Clara's Heart is my all-time favorite movie, and the movie that got me hooked on Whoopi Goldberg. I can't wait for this movie to be released on DVD! I don't understand how a movie like Telephone (which even SHE admitted was one of her least favorites), got released on DVD before Clara's Heart. In my opinion Clara's Heart is a CLASSIC and should be on both DVD and blue-ray disc. If anyone has the address of where to write to request movies to be released on DVD, please let us know.

I got it on DVD with 3 other movies it comes with. Which is ok with me, since I finally got it on DVD and in Widescreen.
