RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

kc94568 I saw this beautiful, heart-breaking movie on HBO decades ago. I have not seen it since, but to this day it still haunts me. I would love to see it again! I wish I could find it on DVD or some streaming service. I think schools should show this film to every child. There are so many lessons to learned about bullying, cruelty and, ultimately, forgiveness.I met Ray Bradbury at a book signing in Berkeley, CA a number of years ago. I bought one of his books that contained this short story and had it opened to that page for him to sign. He asked me if I had seen the movie, and I told him I had seen it many years before and how moved I was by it. Although I didn't mention this to him, the only reason I attended his book signing (my first and only book signing), was because of this story. He seemed to be very happy with the film and then shared that this story was his wife's favorite.

Alexander I remember seeing this movie as a kid, it struck me hard enough that I actually have been trying to find it for ages. The plot as I remember was a group of kids that live on this constantly raining, constantly gloomy planet and the sun only comes out once ever few decades or so, everyone is looking forward to it but because of someones cruelty the main character misses her chance to play in the sun, sad ending. Some people have said this movie is alluding to Vancouver itself, seeing as how its rainy, dark and gloomy here 8 months out of the year, I think I can see that comparison but I don't know if Bradbury meant that or not. I want to to thank Lupin for finding the link on IMDb, thanks IMDb for having the best movie DB out there.

ewyn My dad copied this film off the TV for me when I was too young to even watch it. It waited for me on a tape of other TV movies like "The Boy Who Loved Trolls" for years until I was old enough to understand it. Even then it touched me deeply at the power in peoples actions. The sadness and beauty of it all was so intense, even at that young age, that it became a part of me to this day. I still watch that tape every year and share it with those closest to me. They tell me it explains why I developed the way I did. Some films go beyond film-making to a point of changing the way we see the world. This film taught me the power of melencholy, loss, and most importantly, how alone we all are in our closets. I would recommend this film to everyone and anyone and remind them to pay careful attention to the message in the story, not necessarily the sci-fi or technical aspects.

Pinback-4 I didn't know this movie was based on a short story by Ray Bradbury until a couple of years later when I read the story. But that's not why I remember this film. I saw it in my 6th grade reading class. It's about a group of kids who live on Venus where it rains all the time. The sun comes out only once for an hour every seven years. I won't say any more about what happens, but if you've seen it, you know how it ends. When the end credits started rolling, everyone in the classroom started laughing. I wondered why until I looked over and saw one girl crying. I then laughed too. It was hilarious. The entire class was laughing at her. The girl responded by giving everyone the finger. We had a substitute teacher that day, and the poor guy didn't know what to do, so he went next door and told the teacher there what was going on, and she came in and gave us a very stern lecture about hurting other people's feelings and that we should be ashamed of ourselves. She also warned us that we would be in big trouble if we made fun of her out in the hallway. I thought, jeez, it's only a movie.
