Years go by between repeated viewings of other favorite films, but this film's plot involves so much it always keeps me contentedly entertained: light romance, dry humor to lighten the story's mood, mystery, deception, murder, suicide, some engaging courtroom drama, intrigue, bereavement, family heartaches and joys, strong friendships (nicely developed during the series), wisdom and integrity. Since the series covers twenty-five years, it's fun to watch the characters age and the changes in fashion from the beginning of the show in late summer of 1860 until its denouement in December 1885. It's obvious that a substantial amount of money was spent on the ladies' lavish and impressive costumes. The main focus of the film is the Palliser family and all their struggles and joys but there are also engaging subplots orbiting around the family's storyline.<br /><br />Oddly enough...as much as I enjoy this film (and especially the charismatic and amiable character Madame Max Goesler)...I never suggest it to friends because it's a very old film and the production values aren't up to modern standards. It's filmed in video tape and not the typical, modern film. Because of this the whole series looks exactly like a Victorian soap opera (that familiar "shiny" look soap operas have because it's cheaper to film in video tape). The video quality would turn off most young adults. So my wife and I keep it as a private guilty pleasure.Nic Crillyhttp://sharkingforchipsanddrinks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-37290564301980588052011-05-30T20:45:40.357+10:002011-05-30T20:45:40.357+10:00My favourite film is Avatar.

It revolutionised how movies are made and was a breakthrough in how immersive visually a film could be. Some may debate that the storyline was terrible but I thought it was quite good, a classic good versus evil movie that other science fiction classics like Star Wars and Matrix are based on.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-23421372970291445392011-05-30T10:05:09.459+10:002011-05-30T10:05:09.459+10:00Seems like we're going down the line of French...Seems like we're going down the line of French films so I'll add mine: 'Joyeux Noel' a film I studied for VCE French in Year 12.

My favourite scene is when Jim first meets (unlikely) love-of-his-life-to-be Claudia. He opens the door to her grungy apartment with music blaring in the background, and you get the sense that his heart stops for a moment.
