Decades after Friends drew its curtains, Jennifer Aniston still finds resplendent prominence. The Rachel Green actress made herself a household name after the breakthrough show and ascended to the heights of mainstream Hollywood. Finding fame as America’s sweetheart, her mercurial inroads started with flicks such as The Break-Up and He’s Just Not That Into You. Granted the celebrated reception of those movies never really put a dent in her 10-season-long sitcom’s still-fresh image, yet, in terms of what she chooses to watch again and again, it is not Friends that comes to her mind.

The fashionista maintains an active time in the industry and still counts on making shows and movies, yet the subtle details of this flick keep calling her back.

A handful few movies latch upon one for life, and for Jennifer Aniston, 1983’s Terms of Endearment ticked the right boxes. Starring Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger, and Jack Nicholson, the movie weaves a beautiful tale as it explores the depth of bonds. In the book, You Gotta See This, the actress revealed “I’ve seen Terms of Endearment hundreds of times.” Rather, she referred to it as the flick she could turn on anytime and “burst into tears”.

Revolving around a central character who loses on life young owing to cancer, the movie also deals with the naked truth of women’s sexuality. Acclaimed for its theme of unconditional love and an honest interpretation of how life calls out emotions thread by thread, there is an abundant rationale for why Terms of Endearment stood as Jennifer Aniston’s favorite movie of all time. Finally, the actress recalled how at certain points in the movie she would go on from radiating heart warmth to “a puddle on the floor.”
