I still remember the first time I saw it, was in Florida, either December '97 or January '98. And I cried and cried and cried. On the way home, I just looked out the window, very quiet, thinking about how powerful it was.
I saw it again at the Palace in Albany, Valentines Day 2010. I went alone (naturally). It was bitterly cold, and when I walked home at 11:30pm after the film was over, I felt the exact same way as I had 12 years before on that car ride home.
