Thank you Steve. No, I didn't see that one, as we watch even less TV these days. Rachel Portman... hmmmm, I recall her Ratchatcher - a remarkable film, but can't quite remember her music.For some strange reason most of our films lately have been Russian, so even though there were some quite interesting ones, they would be of, shall we say, very limited interest to this group. On the bright side is the fact that the average quality has been quite decent, with some simply marvelus. I mentioned to Dmitry the "Fortuna" by Georgi Daneliya, every film by whom is an event. Well, I would probably exclude his "Kin-Dza-Dza" (1986) from that list, but if you happen to stumble over any of his works, most definitely get it. I suspect some of it has been released here, as he is a tremendous director. His "Osennij Marafon" is available from Amazon (not his most colorful film, but a great one if you can delve into the Russian life of that period). His "Don't Grieve" and "Mimino" are part of the world classic and a must for every movie buff.
We also saw a bunch of unremarkable French and Italian films, their names now escape me
