"Med Hondo is a hero of mine; he encapsulates everything that I would like to see more of in cinema; intellect and effect. This musical deals with years of oppression due to French imperialism in the colonial West Indies. It is set entirely on a slave ship and the climax is at the end, an exhilarated spinning shot."

Kelly MacDonald recommended Luica In London & Mapp And Lucia in Books (curated)

"This book entertained me during a pregnancy. It’s set in the a small English village in the 1930s and is a battle of wit and wills between two women. It’s all fetes and musical soirées and fighting tooth and nail to be top dog. LOL, as they say. My baby got jiggled for days on end with my laughter."

A staple Christmas movie and the best adaptation there is, the remake was unnecessary and was very messy.
It's a wonderfully story and contains some great musical numbers and Gene Wilder was nothing short of amazing bringing the titular character to life.
Not sure if it will ever be bettered, I dont think they should try..classic!
