You know, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is my favourite classic and I thought they didn't do such a good job in it. The torture and solitude was not portrayed the way I would have liked.
P2bc, another classic is Tin Tin. 
Tintin, by Belgian artist Hergé, I have them all! I miss one or two of the newest Asterixes.
Latest version? Did I miss a version? The Rod Steward theme song one is the one with Chris O Donnel and Charlie Sheen, right? I thought it a charming movie, but not one that did justice to the book.
Man in the Iron Mask, I've only seen the modern version with Gabriel Byrne as d'Artagnan, Jeremy Irons as Aramis, Gerard Depardieu as Porthos and John Malkovich as Athos. Dicaprio played Louis... he's a good actor, but his horrible accent just... ruined the character for me.
The movie had a great pace and I love it, but it's a sort of guilty, sinful love, because it hasn't been made very well. Loads of movie making errors.

I was wondering would it be a good idea to have a sticky thread of book recommendations? Similar to the one they have in the TAW forum.

Be warned, however, that the book was written in the early 19th century, and its portrayal of Jews is not what I would call...enlightened. This could be considered a plus, however, since unlike most of the stuff being read in schools today, it's not politically correct and it is true to the mores of the time.

dir="ltr"> Jesus told us to give the poor a glass of water, not to give the government 40 bucks so that they could waste away 30 of it, spend 9 on a bridge to nowhere, and then spend the last dollar on a bottle of water to give the poor that could have been bought for 15 cents at Walmart. | | |
