He was great in Moonstruck and Captain Corelli and he's a bit ditsy. Lovely:wub:


Moonstruck Ok - one of his earlier films I think, but he was SO wrong for Corelli. He just plays Nic Cage in everthing he does these days.


I think I'll watch Brief Encounter tonight. I bought the DVD last week and love the language and repressed emotions.

I liked him as Corelli-though John Hurt was really miscast.
Oh, Brief Encounter is on my list of 'best evers' on here way back??? Aug 07 I think.This thread has me actively looking for a copy of 'The Notebook' to watch this weekend.

Brief Encounter is an absolute classic. :) I also got a triple bill of Pressburger & Powell films with David Niven.

Loved The Notebook, but don't forget the box of tissues!

I have always thought he was an absolute charmer, even from when I was very young. Lovely books and a new biography is being published. It is being serialised in The Sunday Times. Have you seen it?

No.....but I will this weekend for sure and - will put the new biog on the birthday list.Thanks for that snippet.


Yes,he was charming- I can't think of a contemporary who is comprable.

different level of attractiveness .....

Completely understand where you are coming from. He was a gentleman. A rare quality these days. ;)
