Criterion Trailer 76: Brief Encounter

Just so wonderful.

nice .. watch movies like this at -> Free Movie Chest . com

If the final scene doesn't make your eyes moist---check your pulse.

They played a married couple in Paul Scot's "Staying on.
Well worth watching.

The Carnforth Station Visitor Centre is well worth a visit as well, its free entry and has a Brief Encounter exhibition.

cruel? or aptly poignant ?

One insomniac night I saw this movie and was blown away.  I never knew the title because I caught it a bit after the initial scenes were shown. It wasn't until I watched the History Boys, where they re-enacted the ending scene that I found out it was Brief Encounters. It was too memorable to forget. *sigh they don't make movies like they use to.

Yes I saw it once "by accident "and have loved it ever since..the music, the cast, the clipped accents, the twist of fate ..unforgettable magic!

Yes, and that really surprised me, when that stark fact dawned on me, after closely reading the credits, because - for years (and I am 70) - I had got it into my silly head that the station was somewhere in Surrey, and that the capital was London. Anyway, irrespective of the locations, it was, is and always will be, a marvellous piece of cinematic romance, for my money, and we owe everything to the distinguished cast, along with Coward and Lean, who wove the magic, and made it happen.

I agree; I wish they had made a sequel so we could find out like how they coped with the situation a year later or something like that. It's just one of those enduring, beautiful films where the characters are likable and you feel their pain. They just don't make movies like this anymore...
