Showing - Steel Magnolias

The house where Sally Field and her family lived in the 1989 movie Steel Magnolias is now a Bed & Breakfast in Natchitoches, Louisiana. It was built before the Civil War in the 1830s and sits along the Cane River. 
As much as I love this movie I have only seen it once, its just so sad I can't really bring myself up to watching it again. Now I know that it is not the saddest movie out there but it is the first movie sad movie I remember watching as a young teenager, aside from My Girl (because people that movie brought on all the tears.... every time) 


The thing I loved most about this movie aside from the totally 80's pink wedding,  our local girl Dolly Parton rocking her big hair,and  Julia Roberts trying to have a southern accent. It was the house and the perfect southern back ground. It just made you dream of corn bread made in an iron skillet and drinking  sweet tea to cool off on a hot summers evening.

Do you want this house? It could be yours for  only 1,175,000 or you could just just buy it the movie for about $5.
