The greatest movie ever made..!

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I cried too. Luckily I saw this at home without a bunch of narrow, self-centered kids around to ruin it. It's actually been over 20 years since I've had the pleasure and I feel like I've gone back in time. It's every bit as good as I remembered. The grim atmosphere is perfect, the young actors are quite good, the scoring is very nice. Of special note are the boy who plays the sort of bully and the little girl from Earth. Bradbury often took liberties with story elements, but it's never bothered me before and it doesn't with this material. The whole idea of "All Summer in a Day" is just full of Bradbury's unique and imaginative ideas. It's a step up from the similar shorts of Ray Bradbury Theater which never got their due from their conception up to their embarrassing DVD release. I guess it's an empty hope that we'll ever see these PBS shorts in a DVD set.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid, it struck me hard enough that I actually have been trying to find it for ages. The plot as I remember was a group of kids that live on this constantly raining, constantly gloomy planet and the sun only comes out once ever few decades or so, everyone is looking forward to it but because of someones cruelty the main character misses her chance to play in the sun, sad ending. Some people have said this movie is alluding to Vancouver itself, seeing as how its rainy, dark and gloomy here 8 months out of the year, I think I can see that comparison but I don't know if Bradbury meant that or not. I want to to thank Lupin for finding the link on IMDb, thanks IMDb for having the best movie DB out there.

My brother and I saw this movie years ago loved it. We had no idea what the name of it was and everyone we asked about it had no idea what we were talking about. I could only remember a few things about this movie because it had been such a long time ago. I do remember it being a very touching story. Just a few minutes ago my husband found the name of it for me. I am very excited to finally know the name of this movie and am now going to start searching for this movie. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Although it seems there are lots of people looking for this movie as well. Again I would greatly appreciate it if any could give me info on how to get a copy of this movie. Thank You

It is amazing reading the other comments on this board. I could have probably written any of them. I also saw this movie when I was younger. I also have to say I could remember the movie almost totally except the name. I knew it had to be sci-fi but never would have guessed to think of Bradbury doing it. It is a touching story and I can't believe anyone who watches it can keep a dry eye at the end. It has taken me a long time to finally find out the name of this movie. I can't believe this film or short (I don't think it was actually that long) could have this big affect on so many people. This is a great film and I am hoping that I can find a copy for my collection now that I know what I'm looking for.
