We travel back in time to an age of innocence, wait what? No, that must be a different movie. We do get to watch a touching love story unfold in the suburbs of London in the 1940's. There's only one problem. The lovers are already married! The drama, the awkward situations, the chatty train passengers! Not to mention the holier than though friend. There's a lot to like in "Brief Encounter" and it's easy to see why this movie is ranked among the top classic movies by the BFI. But do yourself a favor and read the IMDB reviews. Not everybody loves it. Bob and I do really like it though.
