I like Brothers and Sisters too - and Bones. I'm an avid Kathy Reichs fan and have read all the books. She just amazes me the way she wrote all those books and did all her other stuff at the same time. Been to a talk by her and met her briefly when she signed my book. Fascinating lady.
My favourite blubber movies are Beaches (oh yes) and Dr Zhivago - even go so far as to say that Dr Z is my favourite movie. One recent fave is It's Complicated with Meryl Streep - you would probably like that, Diane. Elaine and I went to see it in the middle of my chemo. Did me the world of good, I laughed so much. We missed a lot of it because we were talking and laughing about the funny bits. Luckily, there were only a couple of other people in the cinema at the time. In the same vein but with Diane Keaton, Something's Gotta Give is another good one. Mad Money is funny too. My sister bought me Mamma Mia when she was here because I hadn't seen it. Haven't had a chance yet. Also got the complete series of A History of Scotland for my birthday, still to watch.
Must look out for Last Chance Harvey, Lil, didn't see it at the movies - love Dustin Hoffman. Also haven't seen Iron Man and Iron Man 2 - they would do for son's Christmas!
