Watching - August 2022

The Railway Children (1970)

Presumably on iPlayer following Bernard Cribbins' sad recent death, and mentioned a fair amount in his autobiography, so it seemed a nice thing to watch on an afternoon off, as it's a classic I've never seen before. Sweet and sentimental, dated and clunky, and old-fashioned when it was made, no doubt, it was nevertheless a nice film to pass the time with.

You've Got Mail (1998)

Sweet but a little unbalanced, mainly because Meg Ryan's character goes from finding Tom Hanks really annoying to falling in love with him in too short a time, compared with how long she is annoyed with him. But there's lot's of sentimental moments and a nice ending.
