I've never seen that one. I'm the only female in a house full of men so my viewing is a bit action film orientated. I'll get the dvd and watch it with my mum, it sounds good.I think the Harry Potter books have been made into fantastic films for the children.

Not a film but a (long) TV series - that's Paul Scott's Jewel in the Crown quadrilogy (is that what you call a 4 book set? Probably just a quartet)Absolutely fabulous end of empire story, multi-faceted and the series covered all the strands and stories in the books, not just a select few
