Comments on: Films I Personally Enjoyed (Even If Others Didn’t) http://www.frillyshirt.org/2007/07/25/films-i-personally-enjoyed/ Thoughts on Art, Nature, the Fine and the Silly by Sir Frederick Chook, a Colonial Dilettante and Romantic Fop.

A few more to add to the 'must see' list if you haven't already had the pleasure of viewing them: Wilde Gigi (my favourite musical!) The better Austen films- S&S, the Paltrow 'Emma' and 'Mansfield Park' with Frances O'Connor. The Firth 'Importance of Being Earnest' 'Washington Square' with a young Jennifer Garner 'The Lady and The Highwaymen' - the one where a very young Hugh Grant has the Restoration mullet and 'The Libertine'- Johnny Depp, more Rosamund Pike and a cute little Australian actress called Samantha Morton. Oh, and what about the most recent 'Phantom of the Opera'?

Except, we did find that Blockbuster head offices made our local video shop remove their 'Queer' section, and so Wilde found itself reshuffled. I think it was just a question of terminology - 'Gay and Lesbian Interest' or some nonsense - but still. We've only seen the Redgrave Earnest, not to be confused with Vanessa Redgrave as Lady Wilde - ahhh, six degrees of stupid coincidences. Cheers for the recommendations!
