Not sure whether to watch the film, but will seek out some of your other suggestions.Spade and Daggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447641240079673493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-23924642029019704722017-10-15T10:03:31.252-07:002017-10-15T10:03:31.252-07:00Prashant, first for you, least favourite for me!Prashant, first for you, least favourite for me!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-57178824557814310882017-10-15T07:57:23.130-07:002017-10-15T07:57:23.130-07:00Col, I haven't seen any of these films or tele...Col, I haven't seen any of these films or television series, though I'd be most interested in Philip K.

I only saw it for the first time about a year ago. But I had recently read the book which probably affected my enjoyment.

Lots of good suggestions here, but I will skip IT. I remember my daughter had one of her sleepovers at our house and the girls scared the bejabbers out of themselves watching the original IT.
