Rufus is wonderful in Middlemarch.

but so is Douglas Hodge

a long clip, but just to show those who don't know this actor. What a shame, the poor character starts with such good intentions and ambitions, but.......
If you've seen Rufus in TTOTS Janine, have you seen Damian Lewis in Much Ado About Nothing, part of the same series? It's wonderful, and he is so brilliant in it, funny, and very sexy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yd3h...eature=related
Alan Rickman is a favourite of mine too, particularly in Truly, Madly Deeply, but get the hankies out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj1Bl...eature=related
And finally, someone else who loves Steven Mackintosh. He's just stunning in Our Mutual Friend, so touching and vulnerable. Catch that if you haven't already seen it, he's wonderful, but so are the rest of the cast. David Morrissey is in it too, so you can't go wrong. He's just brilliant, intense and compelling.

I love Ciaran Hinds too, TMOC is so sad, and he was just the best ever Wentworth in Persuasion and was great as Rochester. (but my favourite ever Rochester is Toby Stephens). He seems to excel in these period roles doesn't he? Julius Caesar was brilliant too.

I don't think Caesar actually looked like this though....:D!
And here's Toby

I was going to go out to the shops, but I don't want to now. I need to go and watch all of these films again, after I've had a lie-down in a darkened room to compose myself.....:blush:.
Edited to say I didn't mean to post the quote twice, but I had problems logging in, and then it did it twice.
Wessexgirl, I watched a lot of clips from Janine and I'm afraid I don't quite belong in the Ken group...he's much too classy for me. I'm more for the rough around the edges type — that is, without getting their hair messed up. Don Johnson fits the bill. Model gorgeous smart ***. And Ewan McGregor, a sweetheart who's not afraid to get dirty. Those are more like my guys :)Quote:

It will make you laugh and cry. I will have to find some clips on Youtube. I also loved him as Diggory Den (the Reddleman),"Return of the Native"; I just re-watched that the other night, just to see cute Steven; Clive Owen is not so bad to look at either. Love his voice. At first, I was not crazy over the guy who played Clym, but then he grew on me with time. I will hunt for a trailer or excerpts. I loved the Alan Rickman film and will look that one up, as well. I would like to buy it. His acting was wonderful and so nuanced. I loved that scene you sent to me with the poetry. Now I am curious.Quote:

Edit: YIKES! just looked up the Richman film - pricy! I don't think I can afford that one for a long while. Guess I will have to view it on Youtube. I am contemplating buying the Dicken's set that includes the one film with Steven cutie-pie; but then again, I may just spring for the one single film and get others I want instead.
I'm still in love with Omar Sharif and Richard Chamberlain despite the fact that they are in their 70s now. I'll take 'em! :D
Hugh Grant, oh yeah! Rufus Sewell, even more, oh, yeah!
Ken, YES!!! Any day!
Timothy Dalton, of course!
My husband doesn't care about my fantasies! LOL He says he feels secure. I don't know if he feels secure because he thinks he's so hot or because he thinks I'm not! :lol:
Yeah! In total agreement. These film stars never grow old; that is the magic of film and fantasy worlds. I love all these guys, too. I am doting presently on Rufus for some reason. I need to get some more of his films.Quote:

Hi Janine. I think I may have seen some of Land Girls, but I don't remember seeing it all. I couldn't remember SM being in it, but if it's the one I'm thinking of, Anna Friel was in it too, who stars with him in Our Mutual Friend. They obviously work well together, as you'll see when you watch OMF, it's absolutely stunning, but then all the cast were excellent. The clip with the lovely David Morrissey in the graveyard cuts off too soon, he goes completely barmy, he's so intense. I've never seen him give a bad performance, he's wonderful.Quote:

AR is excellent as usual, but so are the other 2 main characters, Juliet Stevenson and Michael Maloney, who you already know from his films with Ken. He's another favourite of mine, so to have a film with both him and AR in is just perfect.
I felt the same about Ray Stevenson in The Return of the Native, but then I saw him in Rome and he was brilliant,here's a clip where he's a lover rather than a fighter. Wouldn't you just want him on your side in a battle? :D

I love that series too, and it needs a re-watching, like all the many dvds I've promised myself to watch over the holidays, but haven't :(. I don't know what to watch first, and then I waste time deciding and the moments gone. I've been watching an old version of Persuasion from the 70's or 80's but it's not up to much after you've seen the Ciaran Hinds/Amanda Root version. The leads don't appear to have any chemistry or history between them at all. So much was conveyed unspoken in the later version showing what excellent actors they are. I may have to abandon it and give my precious time to another of the brilliant adaptations I've got.
Ooh, how could I have forgotten? James Purefoy in Rome too as Mark Anthony........I really need to watch this series again, :thumbs_up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awT2G...eature=related
he's so good, a goodie, a baddie, funny, brave, cool, complex etc. etc.
wessexgirl, you're absolutely right; I didn't realise. She does play in "The Land Girls" as well; but the three woman revolve around Steven Machintosh, who plays Joe. I just love that film. I only *sign* have it on VHS tape, as you have another here mentioned. I do now see LG's advertised on DVD on Amazon, but currently not available; so there is hope.:thumbs_up It's a good film and Steven is oh so appealing.Quote:

Indeed, that does not look too hopeful. I love Juliet Stevenson; I just bought a series of Ibsen plays and she is featured in "A Doll's House". She is the best Nora I have ever seen, not that I have seen many productions. She was so totally convincing I was mesmerized with her performance - really fine and wonderful. If you have not seen it try to. The whole Ibsen set is incredible and offers so much. The BBC does it again! Yes, know Michael Maloney well by now; he's in so many of Ken's films.:D He is top-notch. I loved him as Laertes and also as The Dauphane in "Henry V".Quote:

I actually saw him in a Ken film "Theory of Flight" and he plays a giggilo. He shows a bit more than we would want to see in the film, but actually the scene is quite well done (sort of funny, too); he goes fleeing out of the room carrying his clothes. Ever see it? I didn't even recognise him first time around and then it dawned on me where I had seen him before. I think he would make a good James Bond. He is sort of unapproachable and yet smooth/sexy in TOF.Quote:

The part I bolded up is exactly me lately...totally indecisive and wasting time. I got this small portable 8" Sony player for on my bed (closeup) or at the park; it's so cool, but now I find I want to rewatch all the films on it, which I already saw, but that are my favorites or fit my mood that particular night.Quote:

No, that older version doesn't sound that good; I would abandon it. How can you beat the other BBC version; it's excellent! You just reminded me that I bought an older film adaptation of "Dorian Gray"; however, I did see this particular movie on TV once and loved it. I think it's still sealed and another DVD I need to break out and watch. Will I ever catch up? I can see what I am going to be doing at the park this summer; watching the portable player and movies movies movies! I won't be a couch potato but a lounge chair potato.:D
I can't believe it. I was going to mention him tonight. I loved him in "The Mayor of Casterbridge"....ou la la....Quote:

...and yes, MissS, it's the same miniseries I recommended to you with Ciaran Hinds playing the mayor. You will love that film!
James Purefoy is to die for. I love those Scottish accents. I will check him out in the link you provided to the video. Wow, can't imagine him as Mark Anthony. That should be interesting.
He's not Scottish Janine, (I don't think so anyway), but I know he was as the character in TMOC, but he's absolutely superb as Anthony. If you haven't seen Rome, I urge you to watch it. It's very violent and sexually explicit, but it's wonderful. The acting is excellent, and there is a rich vein of dark humour throughout, a lot of it from Anthony. JP's performance is exquisite. The character is brutal, dissolute, hedonistic, selfish, etc. but he's also loyal to Caesar, (Ciaran Hinds), loved by his men, inspiring loyalty from Pullo, (Ray Stevenson) and funny, making him one of the favourite characters, for me anyway. I suppose it's a gift of a part for any actor, but JP does it brilliantly. Here he is as Beau Brummell, and I just read on Wiki (so it's probably not true!) that he may be making an adaptation of the Flashman novels woohhoooo!!!Quote:
