Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind 2004, R)
A perfect romance. Funny and sweet and passionate. Always something new to notice and work out. Brilliant visuals - love the scenes where Joel's memories are disintergrating and everything is mixed up. A bed on the frozen beach: gorgeous! |

The History Boys 2006, R)
'Pass it on'. Any film that contains the line 'History: it's just one fuckin' thing after another' has to get five stars. But this film goes beyond just that idea with a discussion of the nature of eduation and the value of knowledge which is quietly thought provoking whilst having a central thread of warm hearted humanity. |

I Capture the Castle 2003, R)
Brilliant adaption of a briiliant book. Some have objected to the flashbacks at the end, but I personally think it is a good way of seeing Cassandra's journey. Very British and very kooky, I want to be in this film! |

Jude 1996, R)
Beautiful adaption, although a really difficult book to adapt. Christopher Eccleston is perfect, but Kate Winslet is wrong as Sue. |

Rebecca 1940, Unrated)
Chilling and magic, love the book and this adaption. Olivier is charming, tortured and cold all at once. |

Breakfast at Tiffany's 1961, PG)
A kiss isn't a kiss unless it's in the rain looking for a cat. I love Holly's vunerability and dizziness, really clever the way Hepburn creates a character that has to protect herself, keep herself locked away, whilst apparently revealing everthing. |
