This film is one of my favourite films

[Angietony]

Great job.  Thanks for posting. One of my favorites. Check out fannetasticdotcom

[TheMovieFiend]

Great job! This is one of my personal favorites; everything came together wonderfully in the making of this film (source material, casting, direction, costuming, production, etc).

Like YouTube, 84 CCR shows how people who have never met can build a strong bond over a common interest.

Kudos! *****

Great review!

Osborne would groove in a good question to Hopkins. Hopkins would take it, then lower his head whilst mumbling ficklishly on. SotLamb and Remains of Days were Hopkins favorite movies of (his own), that's all the trivia I could get.

This is one of my most favorite films of all time!!!

Watching it now :]

Enjoying it very much, the story just pootles along nicely.

[PuppyZwolle]

It sure sounds like a movie you should watch when in a right mood. I have that mood every now and then so i will watch this. If Mel Brooks likes it I should too.

;^)

Good luck on your exams. I'll bet you'll do great.

[oprahlovesgail]

All you have to say is Judi Dench and I'll watch it.

[bangulo2012]

I didn't know you were on rough cuts as well! Hahah sweet! We chatted one time on Ustream a while back :)

[happyfluke1]

It couldn't happen today. They would see each other on YouTube and she would say, "Oh Shit it's Hannibal Lecter." I feel bad saying that. He is such a great and versatile actor and yet that role always pops into my mind.

You tube does have it's moments of thoughtfulness and care though. Have you seen any of the videos with the tiny carved shoes that have travelled the world mailed from You Tuber to You Tuber?

[DoubleWonderful]

[redcash17]

someone should do a clockwork orange

[PuppyZwolle]

@redcash17

I think Kubrick aready did that. 1970 or '71 if I recall correctly.

;^)

[redcash17]

haha nice. i obviously meant a review.

[alienfresh]

I like a nice mug of chocolate.

[vidabo]

Thanks for reviewing this! I agree the movie is terrific, Hanff is a true character, and her books are wonderful as well. As you say, this is not about romance or action, but something more pedestrian - and more real and glorious, if you ask me - genuine friendship (between a man and a woman no less). Your review prompts me to see it again. Keep it up!

[culwin]

Nice hat.

Looking sharp.

[BaubleRob]

Yeah, we had a war. World War 2! Rationing didn't end until 1954.

[TheRoughCuts]

Wow, that's a long time! I didn't realize it went on for so long there. In the US rationing stopped in 1945 and sugar in 1947 in some parts. My dad said after the war his aunt became a sugar hoarder of all things. It was like the dirty family secret.

[bearchay889]

I remember watching this alot over the years i think mainly because my dad was allways a big book nut and he allways enjoyed this i like it myself though it's a good rainy day type movie.

I just looked it up the rationing was still going on from ww2.

[TheRoughCuts]

It really is a good rainy day (or snowy day) type of movie. Makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

I'm amazed by the rationing until 1954. I had no idea it went on for that long.

[pimlico108]

reminds me a little of twitter in the sense that a lot of people firing thoughts and feeling back and forth when they don't really know each at all really. I haven't seen this film yet, so I'm probably totally wrong. I'm looking forward to seeing it though. Another one on the list!

[pimlico108]

Gosh! I just read that back and my grammar was atrocious. Sorry about that. It is 7am here and I am perhaps not running on all cylinders yet.

[TheRoughCuts]

Haha, don't mind the grammar. It isn't really like twitter because most don't put all that much thought and effort into tweeting. Sitting down and writing a letter is so much more intimate and personable. These letters are shared in the workplace, and then in front of the fire, at bedside, etc. It was a real event to receive a letter from overseas. Today people still get excited over letters in the mail and not just mass produced junk or bills.

[Talcioc2008]

Wow i like TCM allot, a classic film is always better then the new ones, they don't make films like they used to do.

[TheRoughCuts]

They really don't. There's nothing like a good plot, good writing, and good acting. "Hollywood" used to be a thing of prestige, and now it's like a brand of drek.

[jaybird1043]

watched it too... love TCM

[kundera30]

I love this movie. Definitely one of my favorites. I've seen it many times. Thank you for the review. :)
