I loved this film from the first time I saw it. It's as underrated a love
story as "Ghost," with a similar premise, is overrated. One of the best
romantic movies of the past twenty years!

I have seen only 5 of his films, so these are how I would list them:
Cold Mountain (I cannot help crying every time I see this movie)
The Talented Mr Ripley
Breaking and Entering
Truly, Madly, Deeply
The English Patient
and yes, I'm a huge Jude Law fan, that's why I got to know Minghella's work. -

- The English Patient: Anthony Minghella's masterpiece, an endlessly beautiful and powerful film, poetry in motion and sound, his gift to us film lovers (as you can see I'm quite a fan of this film)
- The Talented Mr. Ripley
- Cold Mountain
- Breaking and Entering
It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.

The English Patient is my favourite. Very moving, superbly directed and beautifully shot movie, and in my mind gets a lot of undeserved backlash. I like/love all of Anthony Minghella's work, not just English Patient and The Talented Mr Ripley but also on the three Inspector Morse episodes he helped write. Very talented writer/director, words cannot describe how genuinely saddened I was at his death.

The Talented Mr. Ripley and I own the DVD. I watch it over and over.
I own the DVDs for Cold Mountain and The House if Mirth. I don't care much for either of them. I just watched Cold Mountain and will not again. It is relentlessly depressing and Nicole is horribly miscast. Her perfect obvious makeup and prissy clothing ruined the film. She is too tall too. She looked like she was cut and pasted from Molin Rouge.
House of Mirth was stiff and stilted. He had the women smoking which I don't think they did in those days. He just thought women looked sensual smoking. That is a personal touch that was self indulgent.
