  Same Time, Next Year
  
  One of my all time favourite films: hadn't seen it since the 70s & it was still as good.

  Well worth watching

  Buried treasure, recently dug up
  
  This film is exceptional for being singularly well-acted, well written and well presented. It feels like the successful theatre play that it was based on, yet ... read more »

  fair enough, if dated
  
  (marmite film) but we enjoyed it - not much more than a stage play and easier than reading a book! - bit predictable

  don't forget the tissues
  
  Fantastic romantic comedy with one of my favourite actors- I can watch it over and over again. The 26 year timeline is really well done.

  Oldy but goody
  
  A lovely if somewhat dated film. The topic and characters, their feelings and words are far from dated and that is enough to make this such a watchable film. ... read more »
