Well,
I watched 'Stranger than Fiction' which was fabulous (and the only thing I actually like Farell in) and before that I watched When Trumpets Fade which wasn't as good as some have said (although the guy from Burn Notice is in it at the start)
Got half way through Behind Enemy Lines (the WWI psychiatrist film which has Wilfred Owen in it so I was expecting more poetry and music) Still intend to finish that.
Also had 'Fixed Bayonets' on the other night which I'd seen as a kid and loved just never knew that's what it was called.
Yes there is a war theme (I made an amazon list and foolishly hit 'confirm order' on 20 of the most recommended war films)
On VHS I recently watched 'Made in Heaven' smaltzy 80s romance which I love and won't hear a bad word about. And, continuing the incongruous romance theme, 'Truly Madly Deeply' is up next 'I have nothing in my right hand ..' Everyone should see it.
Those, and watching Monsters Inc, Bugs Life, Curse of the Were-Rabbit twice a day with my 2 year old.
Cheers
Murray
