One of the most memorable scenes in film history

Terms of Endearment may be one of the most famous tearjerker movies ever. It has a great cast and a wonderfully funny and 'real' screenplay. James L. Brooks carries us through the years with subtle hints at the time that has passed rather than your staple New Years celebration or birthday party (or worse yet, the turning of the scrapbook pages that is used in the far inferior Brooks-less sequel to this film). Instead the filmmakers believe that their audience is bright enough to put together the pieces on their own (Aren't those kids older than they were in the last scene?). The whole film comes off near-flawlessly. This touching story of a girl becoming a woman, while watching her mother re-learn the heart and the fun of a little girl, is an epic ride. Is it a chick-flick? By all conventional definitions, I'm sure it is. Is it wonderful movie no matter how you categorize it? Yes, it is. Shirley MacLaine won the best actress oscar and deserved every bit of it. Her scene at the nurse's station has got to be one of the most touching and memorable scenes in film history. She would have won my vote for that scene alone.
