Yes, this is another post inspired by my wife. This time she got a call from her mom telling my wife that one of my wife's favorite movies of all time -- Auntie Mame (Rosalind Russell) She said even though the movie ends on a happy note she still cries every time she sees it. I have no clue why and I just wonder do other people out there have a movie that gets them emotional like my wife does with Auntie Mame?

I really meant to say, "Mr. Holland's Opus."
