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.

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!

[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.

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.

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.

[redcash17]

haha nice. i obviously meant a review.

[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.

@redcash17

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

;^)

[oprahlovesgail]

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