Philadelphia ranks as one of my top ten films of all time, not only because of the excellent performances and great sound track, but it deals with a very real subject in a very real manner.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Philadelphia (DVD)
I think the last time I read a novel that I found so captivating and as
moving as Phil Gillam's Herecomes the sun was sometime in the
mid-1970s.
HereComes the Sun is a novel in the true sense of the word. It
contains material that is indeed novel. It is imbued with a sort of dreamlike, otherworldly quality and contains scenes that can amaze and shock the reader. But it always delights.
It is set in the county town of Shropshire, Shrewsbury, and it follows
the life of the proponent, Patrick Grant as he moves through his life.
Some 'coming of age novels' have the main character introduce you to
characters that look like poorly reproduced cardboard cut-outs of people that the author might have once known.
Happily, this is most definitely not the case with HereComes the Sun.
Without exception all ...
Part of the 'American Film Theatre' this is an adaptation of Brian Friel's masterpiece.
