Note for wickedwaterwitch re: mothers dying in Disney films comment. Apparently children were so utterly traumatised by Bambi's Mum dying (I know this, for I was one of them - second film I saw at the cinema, went with my Grandma this time and was OK in the seat because she didn't smoke!) that Disney didn't repeat the feat for fifty-two years 'til the father dies in the Lion King (which also traumatised me even though I was a grown-up by then)

The Champ looked harrowing - have never seen it.

ET is fab - no-one can see that film and not cry. I saw it on pirate video when it first came out. There was my brother and I and about five of his friends - all three years younger than me and unbearable in the way that only small boys can be. We were watching this copy which was so snowy you could barely see what was going on and by the end I was digging my fingernails into my palms so I wouldn't cry - because I knew to cry in front of these six eight-year-old boys was suicide. Then I glanced sideways and they were all sobbing their eyes out.

Right girls I am off to bed

But the only funny thing I ever heard Jimmy Carr say was on the subject of Sting and tantric sex

You know he and Trudy Styler are always going on about it .............well J Carr said last year, I wonder how long he would last if she wasn't quite so ugly !!!


Thank you for your company.

It's a Wonderful Life is a damn near perfect film.

I also really liked Field of Dreams despite it being about baseball and having Kevin Costner in.

I have read The Green Mile and I thought I had seen the film but it didn't ring any bells - maybe I was drunk when I saw it.

Titanic...Celine Dion...oh puhleeease.

My first date with dh was to see Beaches. I had free tickets cos I was reviewing it for the student newspaper. I thought it was a pile of cack (and said so in my review) but dh actually cried. And still I married him.

Not sure I would have chosen that for No 1 - but Elliot's audition tape got me more than the actual film did.
