Oh my sainted trousers... Elodie, I love all of those except Legends of the Fall (I have serious issues with it, and can send the relevant article if you wish to know more). Does that mean we can't be friends? Or does it mean you only feel a fraction of hostility towards me, considering I love everything else you mentioned? Let me see... Three Lord of the Rings films, eight Harry Potter films, Dead Poets Society, The Lives of Others, and Wall-E. By my calculations, that's fourteen out of fifteen. Therefore (and please forgive me - maths is not my forte) I reckon there's an approximately 7.5 percent of you that can't be friends with me, with the other 92.5 percent friends with me.

Just to put you in a forgiving mood, here's my take on The Lives of Others, in case you haven't seen it. The person who gave it 5 out of 10 is wrong and that is peer-reviewed scientific fact. :)
