I don't know if any of you ever saw the earlier version (because we- or at least, I was just coming into exsistence) but it was amazing! If you like romance movies, this is a classic.
The remake (the one with Keira Knightley in it) is a speck of dust in comparisson. I mean, seriously. The whole what- 3 hours? - is totally worth it. You guys have to see it.
