I've seen it, I own it and my aunt actually worked for them when they were filming in her town. She isn't in the movie but did some work behind the scenes. I'm from the Monroe area, about 75 miles away. I always cry since I know Shelby was loosely based on Susan, the author's sister.
We went to see the play locally several years ago and it was mentioned in the program that they had to scour everyone's closet trying to find enough pink clothing for the woman playing Shelby to wear. I told my DH that they asked the WRONG people, I could have outfitted Shelby from head to foot with anything pink that they wanted!

The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorise.

"I'm pleasant. Damn it! I saw Drum Eatenton at the Piggly Wiggly this morning, and I smiled at the son of a bitch 'fore I could help myself." I love Ouiser.

It has been so long since I've seen that movie! I want to watch it again now, but I'm just not up for an ugly cry tonight.

I have the pleasure of directing the play several years ago. we had the best cast ever and won several regional awards for it.

I love that movie. You are right it never gets old. Have you seen the remake that Queen Latifia did? That one was really good too.

My two favorites:
Ouiser could never stay mad at me; she worships the quicksand I walk on.
Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!

I love this movie so much. So many good quotes!  In college my creative writing teacher gave us an assignment where we had to pick a character to write about their life from their viewpoint. I picked Ouiser, and had so much fun doing that assignment!!! |

I remember one night watching Steel Magnolias, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Terms of Endearment all in one sitting.
I also love Steel Magnolias on stage. I cried at the live performances too.

I got my daughter's name from this movie. I couldn't wait to have a girl so I could name her Shelby!

I've never cried during Steel Magnolias, but I do love some of the lines:
Clairee: Ouiser, you sound almost chipper. What happened today - you run over a small child or something?
-------------------------
Clairee: I've just been to the dedication of the new children's park.
Truvy: Yeah, how did that go?
Clairee: Janice Van Meter got hit with a baseball. It was fabulous.
Truvy: Was she hurt?
Clairee: I doubt it. She got hit in the head.
------------------------
Truvy: Honey, time marches on and eventually you realize it is marchin' across your face.
------------------------
Annelle: We are in the house of the Lord!
Clairee Belcher: Oh like she cares. Ousier's never done a religious thing in her life.
Ouiser Boudreaux: Now that is not true. When I was in school, a bunch of my friends and I would dress up as nuns and go bar-hoppin'.
-----------------------
and my all time favorite...
Truvy: Louie brought his new girlfriend over, and the nicest thing I can say about her is all her tattoos are spelled correctly.

Some movies shouldn't be remade, and Steel Magnolias is one of them. I didn't for a long time and then I saw it one night (it was about 2:30 am) on Netflix and thought what the heck. I turned it on thinking that if it sucked I could go to sleep or turn it off. I found myself watching the whole thing. Then I watched the original Steel Magnolis |
