I’m 41 now. I watched this film as a young child and have watched it thousands of time since. The first film to make me cry and no matter how many years later I watched - would still cry (the return of her sister/children scene). This film touched me. Touches me and as I write this I will declare this is in my top ten film of all time . Each time I watch I’m at a different age/stage in life and I see/feel different themes-messages - an historical visual document which I hope inspires so much more for many years to come.

The original Color Purple will always be the best! Period!

This film has played such a huge part in millions of our lives. The Color Purple is Film/art/literature royalty. Black talent has defined American culture from the very beginning.

My favorite lines are: "I gotta go to school." And "Lord Ms. Ciely, when I looked up and seent yo face, I knows there is a God." That was a beautiful moment.

Just imagine Whoopi, at such an age, still manages to act funny in front of the biggest interview that many celebrities would love to be on and still looks all cute with her humorous mannerisms is so satisfying to me.

I have always felt that Whoppi as genuinely herself...then rehearing the teaching of her mother encouraging her to be herself and people may think she's weird or strange... re-enforces that feeling.

Whoopi, sorry for the loss of your mom🙏 The Color Purple was absolutely wonderful and I cried, laughed and rejoiced thru the film. Thank you all for this priceless remake.

Danny Glover telling us about them partying prior to dinner scene is hilarious 😂 Now we know why Sophia didn't have food on her plate 🍽 during a take.

Wow , Whoopi Goldberg, I remember her in a movie Sarafina, she was brilliant in that movie.

Been looking for this reunion for a long-time. Remember watching when this aired!! Such an amazing reunion!!!

My favorite lines might be when Mr. Adolph was going off after he got the special water on the porch. He just randomly goes off about the chickens roaming free and laying eggs all over the place. I was a kid when this came out, but this just tickles me each time I watch it.

38:58 “Harpo” had the best response 😂💜

This was and is the MOST MAGICAL cast 🪄

I remember as a child ,Our family had movie nights ,Dad would go to the video store and ask us shall i get a whoopi ,excited for dad to walk in with the movie! her movies gave me so many happy memories 😊x

This reunion had me laughing and tearing up. The entire cast was awesome. I saw the original Color Purple when I was 16 years old. It was on a family night with my parents, sister, and first boyfriend. I cried so hard during the movie and I was furious with Danny Glover himself because I thought sure that couldn't be just acting. 😮😅 Years later and this is still my favorite movie. Danny Glover and all of the cast were remarkable in this movie. So I look forward to seeing the remake with Fantasia, Taraji, and Danielle. I am totally excited about the new movie "The Color Purple".

The reunion was amazing!!!!

It was great seeing this. I wish The Voice behind all of Shug's songs in _The Color Purple,_ Ms. Táta Vega, had been included in this reunion.

Watching this reunion I immediately remember being a child watching it with my Grandmother and Grandaddy. My Grandaddy love this movie and would tear up at the end of the movie. The scene when the guys are building the railroad tracks and the foreman is singing to keep them digging at the same time. My Granddaddy would tap his feet and smile at that part. The Celie character had to endure so much verbal and physical abuse. I remember wondering why doesn't she run away with her sister. Leave Mr. who obviously doesn't love her. She had such low self esteem she couldn't seem to make that first step. I felt her pain all those years she was miserable she felt like she had no where to go she was stuck. God bless all these people who made these beautiful characters come to life. I miss my Grandparents so much especially around the holiday season I would give anything to see my Grandaddy smile and sing along one more time.

It’s crazy how Whoopi looks JUST like her mother now, literally it’s crazy! JUST ALIKE! Like she grew to be her mother!
