C4 - Great Adaptations "Season"

[rfn]

Spotted this advertised last night on C4, some good films to be shown by the looks of things, including Trainspotting (12/4 10.45pm), The Devil Wears Prada (20/4 9pm), Captain Corelli's Mandolin (9/5, 6.25pm).

out of that list you choose corelli's and the devil wears prada to advertise it? dear god man!

Well I quite like Devil's wear Prada, have never seen Mandolin but assumed that'd be a good film?

Which would you recommend?

if you liked DWP, you'll prob like corelli's, but neither of them do anything for me.

to be fair to C4 its quite a good selection, even the naffer ones [ghost world, oliver twist,watership down] are perfectly watchable - ghost world just for scarlett johannson

i'd recommend enduring love. weird film, with rhys ifans, samantha morton and daniel craig. nice little piece of 'cinema',

think i'll be watching;

shawshank [why not eh?]
trainspotting
the innocents
the tailor of panama [pierce brosnan/geoffrey rush in a le carre adaptation]
enduring love
the talented mr ripley
angela's ashes
fever pitch
and when did you last see your father [not seen it but looks ok]
charlotte gray [as above, but i also find cate blanchett strangely attractive]
the motorcycle diaries
master & commander: the far side of the world
