Keira Knightley, James McAvoy.

This is a Benedict Cumberbatch, small role, but important.

This is one of a sumptuous film version of an absolutely beautiful book.

That's one.

Number two, it's filthy.

It's rotten.

It stinks.

I love it.

Irving Welch, Trainspotting.

The book, it's like a clockwork orange.

You have to climatize to the language and the complexity

complete authentic deep Scottishness of it all and then you get your head around it and then you see the film and it's just that that that thudding thumping soundtrack and Ewan Ewan Ewan McGregor and and the cast a massive cast Robert Carlyle and others uh that is that is good visceral viewing compliments the book beautifully and finally I'm going to go with Remains of the Day largely because it's my third favorite film of all time after It's a Wonderful Life and Goodfellas

I actually think I preferred a little bit, sorry, Kazuo Ishiguro, I think I preferred the book to the film.

Sorry, I prefer the film to the book, but it's a glorious study of that period that I'm fascinated by in English life, which is between World War I and World War II, I think essentially the Edwardian era.

in a big house.

And it stars Anthony Hopkins like you've never seen him before, Emma Thompson like you've never seen her before or since.

And indeed, Christopher Reeve in a small role, but very impactful.

And you kind of think, what would have happened if he had gone on and had more of a go?

Treat yourselves to remains of the day.

It is quite something.
