I have just found some movies on the Net I am very keen on and I hope you will enjoy them!
Movies are a complicated collision of
literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.

REMEMBERING EMILY BRONTË
Emily Brontë is best known for writing the novel Wuthering Heights in 1847. She was the sister of Charlotte and Anne
Brontë, also famous authors.
At first, reviewers did not know what to make of Wuthering
Heights, a novel where realism and Gothic symbolism combine to form a work of fiction which is full of social relevance and where themes such as good versus evil, chaos and order, selfishness, betrayal and obsession intertwine as the story unfolds. It was only after Emily Brontë's death that the book
developed its reputation as a literary masterwork. She died of tuberculosis on 19 December 1848.
The parsonage where
Emily Brontë spent much of her life is now a museum. The Brontë Society operates the museum and
works to preserve and honor the work of the Brontë sisters. Read here.

that is what I call good company.

REVISING MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN
Frankenstein is a unique novel in the canon of
English literature. The novel seeks to find the answers to questions that no
doubt perplexed Mary Shelley and the readers of her time. Mary
Shelley is intensely aware of the concern that technology was advancing at a
rate that dizzied the mind of early 18th century readers. Perhaps this novel is
addressing that issue of advances created by men, but which fly in the face of
"natural" elements and divine plans. Continue reading here.
