Has anyone suggested Howl's Moving Castle to you? The movie and book are both so fantastic in their own way! Please consider it!

[bandgeek8408]

@RMerdes Yes, a number of people, and I am actually planning on doing it. =)

I don't know if anyone has said this, but I think a bvm review of the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Eragon (or a review of shame if that be the case) would be a good idea. Please tell me what you think. PS I hate the Eragon movie....so much.

@Aero3691 I am actually planning on doing Hunchback. I have Eragon to read, but as you say, I've not heard terribly good things about the movie, so we'll see.

Did you ever read The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa? There is a movie made out of it. It's the closest to a perfect novel that I have ever read. It would be great to see a review of the book and movie. I bet you have a lot of suggestions, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.

@pesahson I've not heard of that one. I may check it out.

I'm not going to lie, I think this is one of my favorites yet. Aside from the fact that Peter Pan is one of my favorite plays/books the entire portion about Peter Pan as a character is almost word for word a discussion I once had with a co-worker while working at Epcot in Disneyworld, brought on by a pirate ship topiary being right outside my post and Peter Pan's music playing non-stop. ...this might make me a little biased about this episode being my favorite but, meh, thats ok. :)
