As much as I watched this movie I can never make it to the end , because I end up falling asleep or doing something else . Has anybody ever watched it from beginning to end?

Really? You miss this part every single time and you fall asleep? You're hard-hearted.

My original picture wouldn't post, dammit.

Suuuuuurrrrreeee. I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. It's the cherry on top.

I can say it's a hard movie for me to watch continuously. And after Precious, I'm just burned out on watching folks being abused right now.

Yeah, I feel you.

You can always fast-forward and see what you missed, of course it does lose some of it's impact without context.

Are you kidding? Shucks, my family members and I can quote The Color Purple all day long. We've seen it so many times it crazy.

Now as far as "Precious", I never bothered to watch that movie. Folks personal reviews of it were enough for me, and usually I'm the type person to see movies for myself, but the horror involved in that movie, no thanks.

I did see "For Colored Girls" one time, and that one time was enough.

numerous times. it's one of my favorite books of all time (#3) and one of my favorite movies of all time too (top 5 or 10). i have probably seen the movie 10 times, and i cry every damn time

precious was great, but i will never watch it again. too disturbing for me.

colored girls was a pile of shit, expecially since i know the play (or "choreo-poem") well.

I feel ashamed a little , i can watch beloved and not color purple. As for precious , I have seen it that's a raw movie and for colored girls it's very disturbing.

Hell yeah. I've seen it probably 100 times. I know it line for line.

nobody can pee that long you're kidneys will be like dried prunes. I think its from the movie beloved

Hands down, my favorite drama of all time. Can't count how many times I've watched it. And the music??? OMG!!!! Tata Vega did an amazing job with the vocals!!!! "Maybe God Is Trying To Tell You Something"? I end up in a puddle of tears every time I watch that scene.

Yeessssssssssss

I have to play it back a few times before I can finish out the movie

Not only have I seen it all the way through, I saw it in a theater - during its first run.

I's married now.

You sho is ugly.

Tell that thang to come up here and fix me something to eat.

Next time I'll put a little Suge Avery pee in his water and see how he like that.

How did he die? On top of me.

What am I gonna do with her? Beat her.

You told Harpo to beat me!

You ain't fit to be nothing but Suge's maid. Maybe she can sweep out the caboose.

Everything you done did to me, already done to you.

Until you do right by me, everything you do gonna fail.

I'm poor, I'm black, and I may even be ugly. But I'm here.

These pictures don't look anything like me. Damn him!

See daddy, even sinners have soul.

While watching a movie about a black woman's struggles in the early 1900's wouldn't have mass appeal, I hope that if you have never seen the movie or have never managed to get all the way thru it, I would strongly advise you give it a try. I very seldom brag about dramas but it is simply a brilliant movie. It's not only Miss Celie's story, it's that story of a lot of black people. Tina Turner was one of several singers offerred the role of Shug Avery. She turned it down, saying she didn't have to play that part, she has already lived it.
