I love movies, cinema, tv, dvd you name it. I've watched some great films that I started out not been bothered about watching but I've ended up really enjoying them.
Some favourites are: The Green Mile, Pearl Harbour, Forrest Gump, Drop Dead Fred. I also really like the one's where you never saw the twist coming, shutter island is a good one for that if anyone's not seen it.
I quite like to watch the film before I read the book then I play the story out in my head as what I saw. Reading the green mile after watching the film was great cos I enjoyed the casting of Tom Hanks/Michael Clarke Duncan/Doug Hutchison/David Morse/Michael Jeter/etc etc. Wouldn't have been the same without them.
... 10 Rillington place - Richard Attenborough amazing ...
Blimey I'd forgotten that. One of the most apparently ordinary but utterly horrifying films. This web site shows the demise of the real house, where the film with Dickie Attenborough, John Hurt et al was shot.

The Lovely Bones. A film of light and dark - that's how life is - with, if you don't get it, light (as always) triumphing in the end.
The other dimension to the film is survival of the spirit. Some magical and beautiful cinematic depictions of the Other Side.
Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
Everything is worthy of kindness.

I hardly ever watch films but when people are talking about what they've seen I can often say I've read the book . Find it fits in better with my lifestyle as can just pick up for a few minutes when I want rather than sitting through a full film in one go and all the extra layers in a book that you can't reflect on screen really fire my imagination. Think some of it due to living somewhere without a cinema until I was 18 so never got into the habit but did have access to libraries and books. Think I average a film at the cinema about once every 3 years and only a couple a year on the small screen.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

Read that book too but didn't actually know it was a film.
