yeah i saw the first 2 in cinema, its really cool how well adapted the books have been made to the screen. sometimes it can turn out to be rubbish but im glad the movies are so good. i really enjoyed the books growing up

Can you remember the Tv version of it shown on a Sunday? I also loved the books, so magical

i think i do actually if we're thinking of the same one, i remember cos i thought it was the actual movie and i got up early so i could record it and then it tuned out to be an animated one which wasnt as good.

i saw the original narnia when i was about 8 and thought that was actually better in some scenes.

i've always loved reading and preferred fiction/fantasy so i enjoyed watching it too. I wonder if they would ever make a movie of the enid blyton books. she had some really good stories

Oh I love some Enid Blyton movies! I know they did a TV-series for Famous Five (back in the seventies I think?) as well as for the Adventure series and a of course a cartoon for Noddy. But I've always been in love with her boarding school stories and would like to see them being made into a movie or TV-series.

The one I am thinking of was not the animated version.

I would love to watch the famous five movie or secret seven!

yeah that would be so cool.

i think i liked the famous 5 just a little more than the secret seven but thats probably cos there were less characters.

I loved the farwaway tree too. they don't make books like that no more

I realised that by misstake I booked tickets for Love and Other Drugs & The Next Three Days for the same date/time next week! Of course I'll be releasing my tickets for one movie soon, but before doing so can someone who's seen either or both movies tell me which one I should go to and why? Thanks!

Did you by any chance (it was a FREE preview) see POUR ELLE about 18 months ago ? Late May or early June 2009

It was a French film with English subtitles. It had the English title ANYTHING FOR HER

If you did then you have ALREADY SEEN "The Next Three Days" ....

... albeit without Russell Crowe

TNTD is a good yarn, with a somewhat nervous tension and comes with a recommendation from me (I'll be seeing Love & Other Drugs in a week or so)

Having said that ... it was a little drawn out - I saw POUR ELLE also and preferred the French version - contained everything that was in TNTD but 26 minutes shorter

I remember the 90's series and loved it, I read so many of the FF and SS books
