"The Bookshop". What a delightful, offbeat British gem!
Ya gotta love a movie that features Bill Nighy!

(27,322 posts)I stumbled across it on Epix and since I love Bill Nighy, I thought I'd give it a watch. Needless to say, I was hooked.
Another Bill Nighy film that I never miss when I can find it is 'Blow Dry'. Also stars Alan Rickman, Natasha Richardson and Rachel Griffiths. It's about a British hair styling competition and is totally captivating.

I feel the same about Alan Rickman. I love watching him, even if the film isn't stellar. I think I first saw him in 'Quigley Down Under' and then 'Die Hard' where he played such believable bad guys, so when I saw him in a romantic role in 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' is was such a change up, I became a big fan. He made sitting through that Kevin Costner 'Robin Hood' movie worth the effort and melted my heart in 'Sense and Sensibility'. I was crushed when we lost him, far too soon.
