Hmmm...
I have to say you like action and sci-fi. I hate 3 kinds of movies: action, sci-fi, horror...
Very interesting!

Michel · 29 Mar 2003, 11:31

I've visited The Ring yesterday. I think you hate that movie to, but I think that it is a brilliant movie. Great thriller.

Slightly off topic I know, but for those who haven't seen it, Black Dog is on BBC1 on Sunday night ( UK ) at about 10.55pm I think

**The Flying Mouse** · 29 Mar 2003, 16:42

Favourite films?

So many,but here's a few.
Jaws (the only time a film has been better than the book).
Das Boot (Wolfgang Petersen did a great job directing).
The Sharpe films (very gritty,but also funny)
The Godfather (am I the only person who thinks pt 1 was better than pt 2)
Blazing Saddles (So unpolitically correct it's a classic).
Rocky Horror (great music and hey,it's Meat Loaf).

Also most things by Stephen King.(although I thought Salem's Lot was rubish.Didn't do the book justice at all).

Favourite Authors.The only people i've been reading latley are Stephen King and Bernard Cornwell(apart from To Hell And Back,i'm always reading that

).

White of High · 29 Mar 2003, 16:48

The best authors?
Edmond Rostand: Cyrano de Bergerac
William Shakespeare
George Frazer: Goldbranch(?) It's very funny book about culrture antropology. You have to read it!!!

Hi White Of High.
If you like books on social comment,have you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell.
My brother had to read it for a school report a good few years ago.I was bored

so I picked it up to see if it was any good.It was an amazing book to read,very relevant to real life.
(As a curious foot note,I remember reading somewhere that when the book was released in France,they had to change the name of the pig from Napoleon.)

Chris · 29 Mar 2003, 22:15

Well, none of you have mentioned one of the greatest films ever...... ROADIE!! (The only Meat film besides Rocky Horror that i have seen)

Other films I like are Almost Famous, Anyhting directed by Mel Brooks, Anyhting by Monty Python, Waynes World 1, End Of The Affair and men Of Honour.

I am currently reading Tom Clancy and Lee Childs (generally have 2 to 3 books on the go at one time). I also like George orwell (1984), Bill Bryson, John Grisham, Gaston le Roux (Phanton Of The Opera), Stephen King, Tom Holt (fantasy/humour) and Deric Longden (a local author!).

And my fave tb series ahs to be The Simpsons and The Osbournes!!!
