one of my all time favourite love stories, very old fashioned black and white film but the characters really get to you straight away, its another world really.

Not sure about Hotel Rwanda though, you'll have to tell me what you think about it.

Totally heartbreaking. It's one of my favourites, but it's also one of the critics' favourites too. There's a nice top-100 films list in The Times that tried to be a bit different to the usual ones (quite surprising top 3) and one of the things that really surprised me was that they didn't include Brief encounter.

but there are some other favourites of mine there, Don't Look Now being one of them, the moment the film starts there is such a sense of foreboding, it really creeps me out, the performances are top class, I remember the shock of the ending so well the first time I saw it, it really scared me.

The list is certainly controversial but then again I think that was the whole idea.

I've seen too few of the films in that list!

The list is heavily weighted for English language films, and slightly weighted for British films. Plus me and Andy are ancient, so it's no surprise we've seen most of them.
