BOAT TO HOME

This clip includes my favorite seconds where Abigail Tillerman closes her eyes as a way to express herself to her grandchildren in the boat to home at the end of the movie. It happens at 5:33

I love this story. It was the first book I read at bedtime to my adopted son when he first came "home" at age 10 on Christmas day. I waited a long time to find "Homecoming" on DVD and when I did, I purchased it.

Of the entire movie, the two seconds that Anne Bancroft speaks with her eyes I find the most touching and memorable. This is the reason for the title of the clip ~ A MOMENT THAT REMAINS LONG AFTER ITS OVER

The DVD Homecoming is not available new, presently.
On http://www.amazon.com/
independent sellers are selling it with high prices. Really people are just taking advantage of the fact that the dvd isn't presently being released.
Check it out at

At this link someone is making copies and selling them for $11 plus shipping currently (November 2012): http://www.raredvds.biz/Homecoming_DVD_1996_Anne_Bancroft_TV_Movie_p/homecoming.htm

I encourage purchases of music and DVDs in this section, but in this case, to pay the asking price is somewhat outrageous.

I bought my 3 DVD copies of "Homecoming", when it was available from http://www.amazon.com/ and it was around $10 USA. I bought an extra copy and donated it to the local library. Check out your library to see if they have it. It is well-done and stays closely to the book.

It is risky posting this video. I have many times found movies I want to buy by finding bits of them posted here at Youtube. And there are some DVDs that I would like to purchase having seen bits of them here, however they are not avaiilable in the USA. So, sadly my only way of seeing any of these is to find people willing to risk posting parts here. I understand that people's creations are precious. But I find that having bits of movies, shows and music posted here at Youtube serve as free advertisement for the marketing of the works.

The paperback book "Homecoming" is available for $6.99 USA at http://www.amazon.com/Homecoming-Tillerman-Cynthia-Voigt/dp/0689863616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243915559&sr=8-1

The children acting in this movie are fantastic actors.

Hello, Check at Amazon dot com frequently. Right now, the prices are too high. I bought copies when they were available and donated one to my local library. I cannot upload the movie as it would bring strikes against my Youtube account. Youtube has gotten worse over time about such upload sharings. It is a shame. Sandra

This is my favorite part of this movie, I love the way that one gesture gives grandma the courage to try again and not allow her family's disfunctionalness get in the way. I'm real sorry you can't put up the rest.
