4. Just curious, have you ever given a movie 5 stars? -nt

7. I have but it's pretty rare.

In my rating system, a 5 star movie is good enough to own. And with limited shelf space, I only buy a couple movies a year. I think "Tracks" was the last movie I gave 5 stars to.

8. Thanks for the rec!

I definitely want to watch this now!

I never heard of Timothy Spall until I saw him as Wormtail in the Harry Potter movies. He really is a very multifaceted actor.

9. There are a ton of Spall's films on Hoopla and Kanopy

And he's all over the map. What a range he has.

10. What a perfectly lovely film, bif!

Mrs. Lowry looked so familiar and I was gobsmacked when I later realized who she was!
