One of my all-time favorites. I watched it the first time with my best friend, who was Greek. After that, I bought it on DVD and we would watch almost every time she would come visit for a few days and laugh like school girls. She left this world in 2006. Requiescat in pacem, Marina. ☦️
This is one of my all time favourite movies! I know exactly how she felt - I lost my individuality back in the 80's so I did exactly what Shirley did. Went on holiday to South Africa (I was living in Zimbabwe at the time) and never went back. I lie, I went back to collect my dog 🥰. And now I'm living in Australia so many decades later. And I'm doing exactly what makes me happy, not what makes others happy.
A masterpiece on so many levels, casting, filming, dialogue, the lot! A gentle film packing a big punch every minute. Unbeatable, no more need be said.
This film always reminds me of my late mother who passed away in April 2023. I really wish she had left my father earlier in her life and made a life for herself. I felt so sorry for her in the end but she was and is still the strongest person I've known. What she put up with all those years. I'm so sorry mum xx
@@2_thumbs_up_baby I love this film, but she's married, both her kids have left home, so there was nothing to stop her getting a job and earning money instead of talking to the walls all day. I say this tongue in cheek, but there are so many bored, stay at home housewives instead of getting out and doing something creative or constructive.
My ex-husband was a narcissistic wife beating alcoholic. I left him, brought 3 children up alone, and in 2009, I met my soul mate. Sadly, he passed away 2 yrs ago. Yet, even tho the kids are now adults and I'm not dating. I love life, and I fill it with experiences that help me spiritually grow. Never have I felt lonely, I appreciate my own company very much.
Thanks for uploading. Watching this film, I fell in love with Tom Conti and Greece at the same time. Such a sweet and truly touching film, thanks to all the wonderful cast for portraying this modern day fairy-tale.
One of my all time favs! Saw the play when Pauline was in Toronto, one woman show, amazing. Have the DVD & l swear lve seen the movie over 50 times, even had a Shirley Valentine party , Greek themed. Sadly l married a Joe, same sort & even after 8 years divorced lm lost at 61. Hard to recover.😞
Just found out Bernard Hill ( Joe) past away 3 months ago. His career spanned over 50 years - I was always amazed when I saw him play Captain Edward on Titanic - such a versatile actor. I always get something new watching Shirley Valentine - definitely a fav
I love this funny, moving film, it was also one of my lovely Mum's favourites. We used to watch it together once a year and it now brings back so many happy memories. Pauline Collins is brilliant, she was born to play Shirley and the all-star cast are amazing.
My lovely looking friend went to live in Greece and, after a couple of months, the skin on her face looked old and haggard. The sun is not your friend.
I love the message of this film, we show it in our Women’s Five Day Program for recovering addicts, it says it all so nicely, love love peace to one and all……keep smiling keep hope in your girl heart….dreams do come true❤😊😊😊😊😊
Love this movie, its such a feel good story, I wish I had Shirley's confidence to go on holiday and not come back to this dreary country, one of my favourite scenes in this is with Claymore the vegetarian blood hound, Poor Dog, he soon tucks into a nice bit of steak thanks to Shirley and Dame Joanna Lumley is great in this too as Marjorie Majors, a high class hooker who bumps into Shirley after many years. Bernard Hill as Joe is terrific too and I cannot say anything bad about this. ❤❤😂😂😂😂😂. Robert Bridgend Wales
I have been to the location where the movie was made outside Mykonos. Just like in the movie my friend and I won tickets to visit the Greek Islands! What an experience and we were also going through marital problems!
Its lovely to see pauline collins & julia mackenzie together then yrs later together in miss marples the pale horse what memories they must have x All the cast are absolutely brilliant ❤
I think I’ve watched this movie too many times. I remembered so much of the dialogue, I was saying it with them lol. Haven’t watched it for years. Wonderful to watch it again😊💞
Spent my whole life thinking I would one day pull a 'Shirly Valentine'. Time snuck up on me, I guess I left it a little late. 🥰🤩Wonderful watching this film again. Thank you!
1:07:18 I remember when, back in my London days, the language teacher stopped the tape in front of an all girls class and asked us if we had understood. We answered him in horus the very same line...😂😂😂😂😂 Tom Conti is definitely "absolutely bloody charming" in this role.😅
I discovered this jewel of movie only yesterday and I was amazed by the actress, the other actors and actress as well as the story and the senario that I found very ingenious... I would like to see more movies of this kind that bring us serenity and hope from laughter to tears ... 💖💖💖
Loved this film. Great message and performances. Didn't Pauline Collins get a Tony award for this? Have to point out a problem at 22:35 Shirley drops a few hints that she's at a Catholic school yet when the head mistress calls for the hymn, they sing Jerusalem which is Anglican... something which would never be sung in a Catholic school.
Not sure why this popped up on my phone, but it was a lovely surprise. I loved the play, the film when it came out so many years ago and I have enjoyed it again tonight.
Absolutely love this film ,I can watch it time & time again.❤
I do watch it time and time again. It makes me feel so happy.
@@beverlyfarnell-savic6027 Me too. Third time and still love it as much.
Me too, just love it each time!!
It can be sad too😢
Same,know exactly what you mean.
Excelente mensaje tiene esta película. 2024...vuelvo a verla. Me causó las mismas emociones, pero ahora con una visión mucho más amplia. ❤

@@Adele-b4r it's ok. But thanks x
Let this be a lesson to all housewives and anyone else feeling downtrodden. Dont let life pass u by 😊
Let this be a lesson to all male partners. If you take your lady for granted, expect said lady to leave you for a better life! 😊
yes why not break up your family, divorce and become single and on the shelf, living on your own in your 40s and 50s, great advice.
On the shelf. What a load of crap

I think your going round the bend... oh.good ..i hope so, ive always wanted to travel 😅 love that line....
My mum loved this film bless her , I think she wanted to do a Shirley Valentine and sod off to Spain!! Lol x
Cant count the times I’ve watched this beautiful movie…wish they had made a sequel
A perfection needs no sequels. Not even remakes.... maybe.
I just love this film. Pauline is a tonic ...always
Love her in Upstairs downstairs with her husband.
R.I.P Bernard Hill (Joe).
Such a LITTLE movie gem, and yet a REMARKABLE , BEAUTIFUL ONE!!!!.. Thank you for the upload!!!❤
Great movie! Greece is beautiful. Shirley Valentine is brilliant.
This film had a huge influence on my life.
When it came out I'd not long left my husband of 10 years. Watching this I knew I'd done the right thing.
Well done leaving your husband.
@@declankelly9829 those first few years were tough, but I've never, ever regretted it.
"He needs a holiday too" Despite all the abuse she still demonstrates compassion understanding the bigger picture. Love them both. Always will.

Great movie- interesting life lessons! Pauline Collins is excellent in this role. Thanks for the upload 🙏💜
My favourite all time movie ❤

I love this movie . Watched it so many times lost count . The scenery is stunning
The best movie - filled with meaning and wonderful colour and ....LIFE!
Absolutely love this film ,I can watch it time & time again, Shirley Valentine is brilliant.
Can't believe it took me so long to watch this movie. Shirley's a gem.
I think deep down, all of us middle aged wives/mothers, dream of doing what Shirley did.😉
Only if your with a man like him.
I know someone that did. As I said above, if they're so bored, get a job and meet other people.
Love this film makes think of good memories in Corfu it was 5 years this week since I went solo loved it r.i.p (Joe )Bernard hill
Watching this movie in 1989: Snooze!
Watching this movie decades later, at the age of 40-something: SOBS!!! ❤
Last time I watched this I was 21 and about to get married. Now I’m older than Shirley and I get it.
Me too❤😊
'He needs to feel the sun on his skin... and water that's as deep as forever'.
My lovely looking friend went to live in Greece and, after a couple of months, the skin on her face looked old and haggard. The sun is not your friend.

Sweet film. Each time I watch I go deeper.
Still hard to believe a man wrote this. Wish I knew him.
every line is a classic
That's what I thought of Nicholas Sparks writing in the Christmas Box trilogy.
A real feel-good flick. Thanks for the upload.
I have been to the location where the movie was made outside Mykonos. Just like in the movie my friend and I won tickets to visit the Greek Islands! What an experience and we were also going through marital problems!
Timeless, beautiful movie. It is nice to see it in circulation on YT
This movie AND "Educating Rita" are the tops of this genre. I can watch either and feel my story being told
Thanks for uploading this! ❤
Its lovely to see pauline collins & julia mackenzie together then yrs later together in miss marples the pale horse what memories they must have x All the cast are absolutely brilliant ❤
a lovely little gem of a film and Pauline Collins is simply adorable

Especially these days
“Give his olives a good pressing.”
I got this movie long ago, probably VHS and watched it with my mum she loved it.

Amé ésta película, marcó un antes y un después en mi vida...❤
One of my top three favorite movies of all time.
It's a lovely find. One of my absolute favourite films. Though, I wish I could find the UK original. This has been altered for US viewers.
Ah, that’s interesting. Will watch for the changes.
I keep telling friends to see it and I’ve been watching clips. So I decided to watch the whole movie again. It will not have been the last time.
❤❤😢Love this movie every time I watch it. I'm still waiting to get to Greece someday.
I think I’ve watched this movie too many times. I remembered so much of the dialogue, I was saying it with them lol. Haven’t watched it for years. Wonderful to watch it again😊💞
