I'm with bijou on this one, a movie is not great just because it makes you cry. I wept a little at the end of Rocky 2, but heck I don't think it deserved to win an Oscar or anything else for that matter.

Finally!
I have been scouring this board trying to find some mention of the awful sappy, sentimental music.
It was revolting and I love music I can usually find something to like about any kind, but this score was quite simply offensive.
Thank-you for commenting, I could not believe I was the only one who thought this way. -

"Movies about women, not matter how great are rarely placed in top 10 lists (by AFI or anybody else) because these list (like this website) are decided on by men and men are drawn to stories about men."
Freddie, maybe you should look at the voting statistics, before commenting on that. Males and females voted pretty much the same thing in average, for this film. -

The "young people" who don't like old movies don't even watch them. And, this movie was watched by people who went out of their way to watch it 'cause they were interested in it, or they came across it while surfing the channels. So, yeah, stupid excuse is just that, stupid.
Also, I take it that you don't like young people and people who vote everything they like as 9 or 10 (those people vote that way for every other movie as well). So, for some moronic reason you have combined your 2 hates with the fact that you can't live with the fact that others don't share your tastes, to come up with that stupid comment.
AFC to PUA. That's the dream. -

This is one of the great films. It has perfectly drawn characters portrayed by the only actors who could have done the material justice. It is not a movie about the tragedy that eventually does happen, but about the relationships of the characters. It is a rare and wonderful film!

Comparing "Terms of Endearment" to "The Godfather" is unfair to this film. I would use more revelant comparisons, such as "The Graduate" 8.2 and "Splendor in the Grass" 7.5, and then you'll see that 7.3 is a generous ranking.
