5+ hours of pure bliss. You might think that a film this long is unwatchable, but it's not. It's fast-paced and entertaining, even for a period film.

I've watched this film well over 300 times. I used to play it on mute in HS while doing homework. It helped me concentrate. Don't ask me how, because I have no clue.

I love anything to do with books, bookselling and bookpublishing. But even if you don't, you might still enjoy this light-hearted romantic comedy.

This is an incredible film about the real-life 1954 New Zealand murder. Winslet, Lynskey and Jackson (dir) are superb! Not for Anne Perry fans!

Jean and Lionel are such an adorable pair. This British sitcom is brilliant. I especially enjoy the way they try to end each episode with an endearing and romantic Lionel/Jean moment.

Penny and Stephen are such a pair, even if your like me and find them a bit annoying. You won't want to miss this season. It's the culmination of the last three (wink).

It's just Purrfec'! Young Zeta-Jones, Edenic England and the loveable Pa Larkin. I have fallen in love with this family and would stay forever if I could. Don't miss this series!!!
Father Ted - The Complete Series 2Father Ted - The Complete Series 2

Father Ted is hillarious! Series 2 is particularly enjoyable. My favorite episode is "Song for Europe". The jokes are so hillarious and you can't go wrong with Ardal O'Hanlon.

I'm not a big fan of Julia Roberts but she fits in perfectly here. I particularly enjoy the quaintness of London rather than the love story itself.
Sliding DoorsSliding Doors
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.80
Another London-based film that I absolutely adore. Paltrow's accent is questionable but the story is unique and thought-provoking.

Hardy and Eccleston. My favorite combo. Throw in a little Winslet and you've got the perfect drama! The story (book and movie) are timeless.
