Satisfied Customer

I have always loved this movie ever since I first saw it some 40 years
ago. So when I had a opportunity to make it a part of my permanent
movie collection I jumped at the chance. It is a moving and emotional look
at the status of race relations in America.

A True Classic

What a great film my grandmothers loves this movie she would stop and watch it whenever it came on tv which is not often.So i decided to buy her the movie.She loved the quality of the picture and sound because in the past she had a old worn out VHS tape that didn't work well So she was thrilled with this DVD. Although it didnt have any extra features or commentary she still loved it.It's one of the few pictures that can make her cry i'm not sure why you would watch something that makes you cry but shes happy with it so i'm satisfied with this DVD.

Awesome

I have seen this movie dozens of times, but, loaned it out to someone and they did not give it back. Each time I see it, I cry like a baby. I recently lost my Mother 8-15-2008, and after the funeral some body made the comment that her funeral was one of the most beautiful funerals that they have seen, since watching Imitation of Life, and they were right, only thing is we did not have a horse and carriage for my Mom. It also, reminds me that you should be proud of your heritage and treat your Mother right, because you never know when she will be gone(like mine was 64 and passed in her sleep), I did not have time to say good bye, but, there are no regrets as to how I treated my Mother. I have recommended this video to everyone I come across, it is a great lesson on life itself.

My Mother's Favorite Movie...

I bought this movie for my mother as a surprise because I know how much she loves it-and she truly loved it lol. My mother likes the remake better than the original version and it made her day when she saw it in DVD format.

I also really like this movie. It doesn't make me cry, but the funeral scene always gets to me. Great movie for children which teaches them to accept your family unconditionally. Also teaches them that tomorrow is not promised so cherish each moment before it's too late.

Oh, and the delivery was a little slow, but this movie still gets 2 thumbs up from me.

Lana shines again

this film is absolutely fabulous- i think both versions ( claudettes and Lana's are quite charming). Lana shines in every scene she is in and her outfits are quite sublime. the ending should have everyone in tears- i think Lana has not got the reputation she deserves her acting in certain films namely this, peyton place & postman were worthy of an oscar.
Given that there were not that many films that had black actors in major roles during the hollywood studio system days i think the cast did a sterling job.
