Steel Magnolias

1989

A heady mix of comedy and drama, Steel Magnolias centers on a tight-knit group of Louisiana women who regularly meet at Dolly Parton's beauty salon. Oscar-nominee Julia Roberts stands out as a diabetic who risks her life to have a baby. Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis and Daryl Hannah co-star in this engrossing and endearing tearjerker.

The funniest movie ever to make you cry.
