Alec- I live in Canada! I presume you are aaccros the pond? If so, my Air miles aren't going to get me there.!

Alec- Post NOTE- we may agree with movie pics but I may have a problem with the subject of world politics-K

no no,...we're in the land of the other shrub (jeb)

you know, the bit where it never snows or freezes, lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the atlantic and the gulf of mexico, the land of the tropical brainstorm and the fountain of youth...

The Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico and the fountain of youth? I'm useing my geogrphical map in my brain (which doesn't always click) Are you in Florida? k

yes love...right around the corner from MoG.

where the golden beaches are only occasionally tinged by the effluent from passing cruise ships, and the nighttime crackle of sporadic gunfire makes an interesting counterpoint to the early morning cackle of wild parrots flying overhead

Well after the baby went to bed, I sent hubby to the video shop with a list of videos inspiredby this thread and he came back with....











......













Gosford Park!!!!!

It did the trick though, albeit perhaps a little less brainless than I'd planned.

Not finished it though, so don't tell me whodidit.

everyone - I shall use your recommendations *next* time!

I'm agog to know what video Cloviscat rented.

One other I could have added was Bend it Like Beckham. H was very keen to see this and bought the dvd. I do not like football and wasn't at all interested in seeing it. But I watched the first 10 minutes and was hooked, very funny, well acted etc etc.

Now I *definitely* didn't press that button twice -= something weird is going on...

Yay! simulpost!

I liked Gosford Park too, good choice!

aargh - simpost city - sorry caerwynn!

*looks around*

No sign of a simulpost now

You've got a whole list of videos to get through now Cloviscat, but you really will enjoy Chocolat so you must get it next time you're at the video place.

Hubby's birthday today!

Anymore must-see video suggestions?

It's either that or "Kevin and Perry Go Large" courtesy of BBC1

I recommend Grosse Pointe Blank - a few years old now, but as fantastic as ever!
Or High Fidelity.
