Watched David Lean's 'In Which We Serve' recently (they've got a 10 disc box set in HMV Oxford Street for 20 quid, London-dissenters) and I guess I'm in a fragile mood but I just wept all the way through it, was taken aback at how good it was. Totally made me see why my mum used to go on about Noel Coward (wrote, directed, acted, composed the music) was so great. It's kindof a film I think you shouldn't miss, that good. Surprising.
Plus as a fervent um, not pacifist but anti-war person - refused to join the corps at school, all that - it's the first film I've ever seen that, if I was another person, in another time, I would have signed up immediately. Effective propaganda, I guess.
