5.0 out of 5 stars Windy City, July 3, 2000

I too saw this movie several years ago and it still ranks among my favorites. I would describe it as being about childhood friends who have grown apart over the years. And although their neighborhood loyalties cause them to stay in contact with each other, they struggle to stay "friends" in a contemporary way. Yet, despite their adult diversities, a tragedy brings them together in a beautiful and meaningful way. The movie shows me that although old friends follow their own life paths, the friendships are real and can be counted on regardless of seperation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have a hankie handy..., March 4, 1999

This review is from: Windy City [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie several years ago on late-nite tv and have never forgotten it. A couple of years ago my grandmother died and I found this movie again. I laughed, I cried, and now think of her every time I see it. If you have ever lost someone dear to you, this movie is a must see. But be aware that it is an emotional roller coaster than will leave you exhausted.

Terrific movie, obviously dated now, but very good acting, interesting plot, and terrific music theme. Wish this was available on DVD and/or the music score on CD. One of my favorite movies.
