  10. Now that's one film I have seen - years ago now, and wouldn't pass up the chance to see it again. A wonderful story in amongst all the dross of the time. Wonder if Amazon do the book on Kindle?

  13. What's wrong with me? I've never cried at ANY film. A dozen or so, maybe, out of 50 years of cinema-going have given me a moist eye, but as to actually weeping - never!

  14. I've been shown one very harrowing scene from this film and that was enough for me. I don't get 'weepies'. I avoid them. I think I was stung for ever by Sophie's Choice.

  15. The appeal of this film has always been a mystery to me.

  16. I like this movie a lot, though opinion seems generally divided. I remember a critic back in the '80s calling it a "racist cartoon." Not everyone is into the Spielbergian style.

  23. We could've sobbed together. I bloody love that film! D'you remember 'Roots'?

  24. Read the book if you get the chance. The books are always (usually) better than the movie.
