Tinker, Kes - loved the book &, unusually, enjoyed the film despite that - I still re-read it now.

Very interesting to see many of the same films cropping up, dh was gobsmacked to see how often Pulp Fiction appears. I think he thought we might be a bit too girly for it

A quick aside, it's dh's birthday soon and I've finally taken the plunge & bought a DVD player for him, is The African Queen available on DVD ?

Ghosty · 29/03/2004 22:17

The Deer Hunter
It's a Wonderful Life
The Green Mile
Truly Madly Deeply
A Man for All Seasons
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Shawshank Redemption
