2. In a Lonely Place (Nicholas Ray, 1950, Sony Pictures, DVD)
3. The Complete Recordings (Robert Johnson, 1990, Sony, CD
I've corrected the info to include a network series, Barbara. That was an oversight on my part. Thanks for the visit.
I'll look for your list, Sarah.
And James, Johnson's The Complete Recordings is a favorite of mine. His voice and guitar are unforgettable.
I did it. And then some!
Felicia
Mine is posted. :)
Sam, I'll get right on this! Thank you for your curiousity.
That's a good list, Felicia. Especially like, of course, Twin Peaks.
I'm fond of La Haine, Collin. And you've got me seeking out O'Hara's Selected. Good list.
And Lisa, I've yet to buy Accelerate - one of the few by REM that I don't have. I'll get to it. Thanks for your list.
Breaking the rules a bit by not providing all the details:
Book: Atonement by Ian McEwan
Film: Marie Antoinette directed by Sophia Coppola
CD: You are the Quarry by Morrissey
I'm almost finished reading the book.
I haven't watched the movie yet and I bought it more than a year ago for a buck from a friend at work.
And the cd is fabulous even though I haven't played it in a while.
McEwan's novel is such a wonderful read. The first third, in particular. Thanks for the list, Laurel.
Oh, I forgot to say that The Things They Carried is a helluva book--and that short story in particular is on my list of all time favorites, right up there with "Broke back Mountain" and anything by Cheever.
I read it for one of my English courses a few years ago, and after all this time, I still can't forget that white pebble that he carried, like a host, like a heart, like hope in his mouth.
Good morning, Sam. I just found my tag. I'll post mine today when my brain wakes up and come back and let you know:-) Interesting to see people's choices!
Enjoyed your list, Nick.
