All Summer in a Day

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.

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 and thanks "discovervancouver.com" for the awesome forum.

Well, first off it is a great story, which I think the movie does it justice. Imagine living without the sun, if you are live to 42 years old you will see the Sun for a total of 6 Hours, well imagine being a child and seeing it for the first time. This Movie captures the emotion and wonderment of the children as well as the adult, with a great twist as only Ray Bradbury can turn.
