I love both a good read and a good film. Although not strictly a "film," for me you can't beat John Thaw as Inspector Morse -Colin Dexter's books are brilliant. I also love David Suchet's Poirot - beautifully produced programmes with great period detail, I read a lot of Agatha Christie on holiday as a girl. All the Beebs versions of Jane Austen and Dickens novels are worth watching -the books were always made tedious by having to study them at school! Howard's End is a lovely film -I like anything showing the English countryside- but i admit to not having read the book (yet!)
Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are both excellent book and films. My 15 yr old son is a big fan of Star Wars and re-reads the books and has watched the films more times than you've had hot dinners....!
