There are loads there that I have not seen. I never ever caught Dr Zhivago or some of the old classics like Brief Encounter. Another on my list of 'want to sees' is Far From The Madding Crowd. I think my favourite from the list is Trainspotting. I did not enjoy The English Patient.

You'll love Dr Zhivago, rory. You should also try and get a hold of Darling - also starring Julie Christie.

I've seen loads of them but some I can't remember exactly who was in them or whether I laughed or shed a tear. Gregory's Girl was a stoater and My Name is Joe fairly upset me.
