Other films I like at the moment: "The seawolf" series with Raimund Harmstorff "My fair lady" "Bram Stoker`s Dracula" "From Hell" "The Game" The Oracle on "favourite films" http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/favourite-films#post-57349 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:14:48 +0000 The Oracle 57349@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Has anyone seen M.Hulot's Holiday it is really funny a visual film, but there are places in it when I just cry with laughter.

Genuinely the creepiest and best filmed ghost story I have enjoyed. The nearest thing to it for me - ( although it perhaps does not count, as it was a book / stage play made into a film for the small screen ) being : "The Woman In Black" ... F.F.

Sidney Lumet. 1983. Can anyone tell me from where I can download it? I'm working abroad in the stix and only have a PC to play with. Managed to download Wilde, thankfully. I've never seen a film which shows homosexuality to the incogniscenti so well and the poetry was read so beautifully it made me want to hear more. I expect we'd all like to know what Mr Fry's favourite films are.
