And The Door in the Floor is probably the best movie based on John Irving's work (though I did also enjoy Simon Birch, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules). Some critics said (gasp!) that the movie was better than the book. |
Thanks for the links ! The soundtrack alone for Simon Birch would make me want to watch it.
Love that time period. The movie looks terrific too.
I agree both movies were well done, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules. I'll have to watch The Door In The Floor as well.
