Oh I wouldn't go quite that far (you need to see Ocean's 12 - that's the most cringe-inducing pile of wank that you could ever have the misfortune to see), though I was massively disappointed/perplexed/vexed to sit down to watch The History Boys only to find it to be absolute plagiarism on the part of Alan Bennett, it being Dead Poet's Society all over again, just set in West Yorkshire!

I'm going to re-run my Mork and Mindy box sets, to cheer myself up on the basis that the masses don't understand the natural talent that is Robin Williams.

Following on from the books thread, in order to combat my man-flu I also have the choice of 'Airplane!' which I have somehow never seen (Shirley not?!) and 'Jean de Florette' (which I think was an LK recco). Busy busy.

A word to the wise, if you're watching Jean de Florette, you'll be pretty disappointed if you haven't got Manon des Sources immediately to hand.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

In that case, do "Airplane!" - You know it makes sense... :-)

That's on my LF list (your recco? I lose track) So right now I'll avoid it.

I'm not a big Williams fan (Robbie or Robin) but I thought DPS was ace!

Looks like it's just me and CAPS, Forest Gump to follow.
