        Yes. It's been a while since I saw a film I liked but it happened last night. Watched "Adventureland" (a BBC channel). It was a romcom and rated 4 stars (Radio Times). It kept my interest (i.e. forgot where I was) and was intriguing and well played. First time I have seen Kristin Stewart acting....she was well suited for the role. It was a sweet, poignant and realistic look at the dynamics of relationships, funny in parts with some good music.

          I'm watching "Let Him Have it" what a great actor Tom Courtenay is.

            Don't forget Christopher Ecclestone!
            I've been watching the first series of the modern Dr Who and whilst @Zigs may disagree I am beginning to think that he may have been even better than David Tennant.

              This film and "10 Rillington Place" just confirmed my belief that the death sentence was SO wrong, what dreadful miscarriages of justice.
