BHD is shown quite a lot now over here (probably once a month on various channels, especially if you have cable). Party Girl and the BF were watching it last night, when I got in from work - freakily, Ioan was having his convulsion just as I walked through the door! ("Isn't that the guy you like, Mam?" "Uh-hu!" "He's really 'fit' - hahahahahaha!" :roll: )

That's usually about the place I stop watching BHD, Stevie. I've never been able to get into it too much. I like many of the actors, but have a hard time telling them all apart with no hair, uniforms and so much grime. So, I watch Ioan and leave it at that. :roll:

That's about it for me as well. Just one wartime film I can't get into very much at all,I guess.

I suppose the presence of teenage sons in a household will change the contents of the DVD shelf considerably. We had BHD for ages before I realised Ioan was that guy! :roll: Glad to say Warriors is held in just as high regard by said Soldier Boy, who considers it 'awesome'.......I'm not sure it's for the same reasons, though, so I refrain from digging too deeply :???:

Now Warriors while tough to watch, I think is much more effecting than BHD.

That's what I mean. Of course,Ioan is only in BHD for two minutes,so I've never absorbed myself in it,probably the way that I should have. "Warriors" swept me up with it right away somehow.

I think Warriors was such a powerful piece of work, it would have been as effective (just different, if you know what I mean) even with someone else in the role. the writing, the photography, the acting - all of it is deeply effective. Ioan somehow added to that - a perfect bit of casting. It's a bit difficult to compare an all guns blazing action blockbuster with such a close, understated, personal drama, but I know which I would choose to watch every time, regardless of Ioan....

I have to agree with you, ladies, that Warriors is a much more powerful piece of work than BHD and while I go back to Warriors from time to time (the writing, the photography and the whole cast's acting are just excellent), one viewing of BHD was enough for me.
