Riddle me this; what's the link between between Brief Encounter and the Bridget Jones' Diary film??

Nope

and I'm a big fan

Something to do with the music?

The railway station?

Both feature women mooning around after men?

Both feature versions of Rachmaninov’s second piano concerto (All By Myself, which features in Bridget Jones, uses one of the tunes from the Rachmaninov).

Did I get it?

Rachmaninov is in both films.

Sorry for not responding, been decorating all day. Basically, I started this thread because last night I was watching Brief Encounter and it sounded like I was listening to the song, All by Myself, by Eric Carmen, which was in Bridget Jones Diary. I mentioned.it to my older sister, who dismissed it out of hand, so I googled it, and I was right! 😂 Feelin very pleased with myself, I decided to post a thread to see if anyone else knew this!
