    The movie is great, so is all of Kubrick's films IMO.
    Though personally I prefer the ending that is found in the book, it's the better of the two. The film is pretty much the book with moving pictures and is pretty much exaclty the same, bar the ending. Chapter 21 of the book is basically not featured in the film.

    You could call it a day in the life of the Dover. Not too sure it will be a best seller though mate...

    Personally it is one of my favourite movies. Got an album of the soundtrack. The book is good - must reread it.

    Endorse Brett - "A Fortunate Life" by AB Facey is a fascinating book.

    Birdsong by Sebastian Faulkes is brilliant.If you`re into crime all of the Ian Rankin "Rebus" books are great,best to find out what order they were written and go through the list,they start off as good and just get better and better with each new book.Mark Billingham`s crime stories are likewise excellent,again best read in order.I`m currently reading "Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zavon,it was in the Spanish best-seller lists for 2 years before the translation took off over here.I`m enjoying it because it`s quirky,still not sure how you`d classify it or how it`s going to pan out.Some really funny jokes thrown in,a touch of the supernatural,humour,sex and a plot that weaves all over the place,most of the characters are not what they seem at first,massively popular here,takes a little while to grip you but I`m engrossed right now.

    Read the Jack Ryan series of books by Tom Clancy. Takes a while to get into them, but then you can't put them down.
