Re: Music - What are you listening to?

Yesterday, I listened to a musician named Sufjan Stevens. Here's a playlist of his music I created if you don't know who he is.

Re: Favorite Movies Based on Public Domain Books?

The 1930 film adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front is a classic; and although I can't say it's a favorite, I do like the 1981 film version of Lady Chatterlay's Lover

Re: Favorite Movies Based on Public Domain Books?

I can't say it's a favorite, but I do like the 2015 film adaptation of Madame Bovary starring Mia Wasikowska and Ezra Miller.
