Woooooow. I'm not really a big movie fan but I know enough to know that this a classic. They just don't make movies like Beaches anymore. I've never heard of anyone even disliking this movie, let alone calling it one of the worst movies ever made!
I made my best friend watch it for the first time about a month ago. She's Australian and I'm American, so the majority of our friendship is spent apart. We both cried for the entire last 1/4th of the movie.
My only complaint is the actress they had for Victoria..ew. How can you hate this movie?!?!?!?
@jessacecilia: I can see not liking it if you dislike Bette Midle (what?!) or super-sentimental films. Or are not a lady, I guess. Or hate friends, New York, the '70s and '80s and the beach.
Calling it "one of the worst movies ever made," however, means either you're prone to hyperbole or you've only seen a handful of movies and they were pretty good ones.
@Kate.the.Great: For me, that movie is Steel Magnolias. Nothing turns on the waterworks like it does. Anytime I need a good cry but can't quite get there, it does the trick.
Please, God, let there be one of these for Terms of Endearment to pull me out of the fetal position after I lose my mind and put myself through that movie again.
@poires, poireaux, et poissons: I don't think that's even a cell - I'm pretty sure it's just a cordless. Yes, once upon a time, those had retractable antennae, too. Ah, the 80s. :-)
@Penny: My favorite was "I hate my life", complete with sad Charlie Brown shuffle off-screen. That's pretty much exactly how I react when I stuff things up.

Certainly not THE HAND-WALKING QUEER!

And I can't decide who I dislike more, Bette Midler or Barbara Hershey and her collagen injections.

Jeez. Seriously?

It's the only movie that make me cry EVERY time I watch it.

I really wanted B. Hershey to say, "Wait, did I say wrench? I mean hammer and nails." after that picture fell off the wall, though.

I swear, with as often as I sprinkle obscenities into my daily speech, I should live in a blooper reel.
I LOVE THIS.
