Anyone who is interested, The film of Les Mis is on Channel 4 at 9pm tonight.

Thank you Ann. I've seen it at the cinema, but it's definitely worth a second watch! :-)

Yes we saw it too, and at the theatre 4 times, but love it!

I loved the televised stage production with the "Dream Team" including Michael Ball :-)

I bought the DVD of the film but I haven't had a chance to see it yet. IE- when everyone is out so I can blub in peace!:-D
.... oh..... "Bring Him Home" :-( :-( <3

I may watch it on the telly tonight, if OH is not watching his programmes, otherwise I will keep putting off opening up the DVD :-D :-D :-D :-D


lalalaa.... Can you hear the people sing ..... <3

I'm going to watch it, too. I have the DVD somewhere in the house, but I've never got round to playing it :-D

saw it in the cinema - saw it on the stage - fantastic

I thought the stage version was beyond reality something that is hardly possible but i happened. Half the show was the audience reaction which no movie can replicate.

The film version was good too. I've never seen it on DVD and wonder it it will fit into a small screen - 50in is a bit of a pocket handkerchief for Les Mis. But hey why not those who want to watch MOTD can go to the den.

thank you

It does usually happen that seeing a fim on the TV is not as good because on the screen it is larger than life. But I think Les Mis will be fine. Jem yes we have the Dream Team DVD. The only problem with Les Mis is the 'worm' that gets into your brain and you go to sleep hearing it and wake up and it is still there. 1230 is a bit late for us though so I think we will watch it another evening.

First saw it on stage with my late daughter who was heavily pregnant at the time, when the noise of the cannons filled the theatre we jumped so hard I thought my daughter may go into labour !

The next time I saw it was at the cinema a couple of years ago with my granddaughter, she was the baby my daughter was carrying at the time............... when Francine sang 'I Dreamed a Dream' the tears rolled down my cheeks.........I was overcome by emotion, not only by the sadness of the plight of the character ........ but also with the pain that our loved one was no longer with us.....

I also have the DVD .... which I have watched, but is no way as spectacular as watching the film at the cinema, but is still well worth seeing ........ enjoy :-)

the film version was breath-taking - particularly the opening scene - and Hugh Jackman - to die for - fill yet boots girls :-D :-D :-D :-D

OH dear Joeva, I'm so sorry to hear that you lost your daughter; there's nothing worse than losing a child, I do feel for you. I saw Les Mis, on the stage with my late mother about 30 years ago, it was the last show we went together before she died. We both really enjoyed it so much, but I won't be watching it again, too many memories.

A beautiful film.....*sighs* <3 <3

I love this musical, have watched it loads of times and am watching it again now... :-D

I don't think I will get through it, I have the 10th anniversary video, which is sublime, and have seen it live, but the singing so far is not up to scratch :-(

I had that 10th anniversary video - the singing may not be "up to scratch" Rose, but the acting is phenomenal - did you notice that Colm Wilkinson, who was on that 10th anniversary video was the head of the monastery who saved ValJean?

Saw it on stage and the film. Now watching again :-D..Tissues by my side

i am disappointed too, been looking forward to it all day :-( :-( :-(

must say it's made me very weepy - particularly Anne Hathaway with "I dreamed a dream" :-( :-( :-( :-(

Why is Hugh Jackman changing his accent, the first song was with a faux Irish accent now he is just nasal....but, on the plus side, he's making Russell Crowe look better.:-)

I don't care what voice Hugh Jackman uses - it's not his voice that interests me :-D
