"Sidney Lumet’s film version of Tennessee Williams’s Orpheus Descending, with a script by Meade Roberts (who later played Mr. Sophistication in The Killing of a Chinese Bookie). I love Brando in this, especially that opening speech to the judge, and when he recounts the story of meeting Leadbelly."

"A hilarious, twisted, gorgeous love story between a teenager, Bud Cort, and an old lady, the magnificent Ruth Gordon. Indelibly directed by Hal Ashby, it features one of the best soundtracks ever—all classic Cat Stevens. Still can’t hear “Trouble” without seeing a hearse drive off a cliff."

This is turning out to be one of my favourite series' ever!!

I fell in love with Lee Cross early on and could have read this book in one sitting quite easily if not for that little thing called work.

Can't wait to read Stu's story!

"Here’s a novel of intimate emotion and historical sweep. It tells the twin stories of an Australian doctor’s melancholy love affair and his appalling experience as a war prisoner building the Burma Railway. Most potently, Flanagan makes use of his own father’s real-life biography in telling his story."

Loved it cant wait for chapter 2
Ah Stephen King is such a legend, love the story and this adaptation was awesome. Bill skarsgard is a great pennywise and the loser club was played by some really good actors. Loved the movie cant wait for the next installment
