I loathe rom coms.....but sometimes the story,
score, & actors raise the bar. (Daniel Day Lewis
as a British fop is an unexpected treat.)

I just finished rewatching Valmont which stars Colin Firth and Annette Bening in another adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons. I think it's fantastic.
Apparently there are many adaptations of this excellent novel.

I can't decide which version I like best!

I especially love Master and Commander and The Bounty! Did you know that Vangelis did the music on The Bounty? Vangelis of Chariots of Fire fame.

I'm re-watching The Hudsucker Proxy.
Love the score (Carter Burwell)
Love the writing.
Love the acting.
Love the style.
Love the visuals.
Love the humor (bizarre, slapstick, deadpan)
Love the ending.

One of the many great scenes....

I've never answered this because my choices are so unlike everybody else's. I love Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson & Colin Firth), and The King's Speech (also Colin Firth).

When it comes to it, I'm more likely to be addicted to live productions. I've seen 13 different productions of Man of La Mancha over the past 60 years, 5 Waiting for Godots, I can't tell you how many Hamlets and Merchants of Venice and Romeo & Juliets and The Winter's Tale (and probably all the rest). Oh, and Tosca, Turandot, Nozze de Figaro, Magic Flute, Boheme, Fidelio...goodness, I could go on forever. And until I die, I'll see most of them again, too!

Our tastes differ a wee bit.
(I hate live performances.)
