1. My Life as a Dog, last night on BBC4
2. E.T.
3. The Neverending Story
4. Central Station
5. Boys Don't Cry
6. Schindler's List
7. The Colour Purple

There have also been instances in front of The Oprah Winfrey Show, Brat Camp (the first British season), and various assorted documentaries about regular families who manage to overcome some kind of obstacle and be stronger/better/happier. And I'm sure there are films I'm not remembering right now.

I need to own a copy of My Life as a Dog. Watched it last night, felt like doing nothing afterwards but thinking about it. Some films feel like a beautiful, and truthful, novel put to life, and that was one of them.

Really? I'm surprised... I thought that version wasn't a very good one.

I like watching these kinds of movies sometimes; it's not good to only watch pop crap.
