Just gave this thread another quick read-through. Don't think anyone's mentioned Ethan Frome...

Both the book and the movie are fantastic! Couldn't put one above the other. I read the book upon my niece's recommendation--just had missed it somehow over the years--and it knocked my socks off. So, I checked the movie out at Blockbuster, again upon my niece's recommendation, and that knocked my socks right up the chimney and I've been sockless every since.

Best regards,
