Lin (my last (late) "ex") and I never actually watched this, together. We'd split up a long time before it. But, I told her about which scenes made me burst into tears...and, they still do. I feel that there is some mysterious link in this film between Lin, where she now is...and me. My heart's top ten films looks nothing like my general top ten films list.
There is something about that film that makes me feel more close to her than I usually feel.
That's not to say that I can explain it, because I can't. As long as I know that it links me with her, I'll always hold it dear to me and I will never stop going back to it, and watching it...it makes me feel like she's physically near to me. When I put the film on, I even say, aloud, "I'm watching this for you, Lin!" I think that there are very many of these doorways to those on the other side, and that's what I consider the film "Signs" to be, for me.
