- 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.
