Film- Threads, only 13 when it came out and dm wouldn't let me watch it. I watched it a year later and there are still scenes that haunt me, the teenage boy sobbing in his aviary, the dying cat in the rubble and the hospital

Books- Brave New World, the scene where they find John after he's hung himself, and where the chdren are erotic play is encouraged in the children

My Little Pony, where the lava is about to destroy the town and the ponies have to run away. I was too young for this kind of annihilation.

K19 The Widowmaker- a film about people on a submarine who have to enter a room filled with radiation to carry out works to save the submarine and their lives, but knowing it will also probably kill them slowly and gruesomely after

White tiger, film is on Netflix. The book is well better, coming from a poor background it really resonated. I have felt that anger on occasion but you bury it deep and you smile!

The Sister's brothers, film is dreadful
Cider House Rules, film wasn't great.
To kill a Mocking bird, film is brilliant, book is better
Doghead, translated from Danish
And Begsby, quite brutal but I knew a couple of Begsby's growing up and the character warranted something of an explanation and a "if only"!
