I'll never say no to a good romance. Action with humor is also a fave. Slowly educating myself on classic and foreign films.

    The plot is sort of incoherent but Astaire's dancing is amazing.

    I personally wanted something more focused on the technical and artistic aspects of the new production, rather than a rehash of COVID issues and Ballet 101 explanations.

    Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book. This BBC miniseries adaption gives the story the room to breathe and develop in a way that could never be accomplished in two hours.

    Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle have such great chemistry - so much so that the two began dating in real life, and I think you can see some of that genuine emotion in their performances.

    I used to watch this every Christmas with my sister. It's the ultimate comfort re-watch. I don't think anyone will ever be able to top this version.
