Excellent! I loved these films, too.
 
I find it disappointing when I watch a film that was based on a book. They are always very disappointing. The latest disappointment was Ender's Game. I'm a huge Scott Card (and sci-fi fan) but the movie did not do the book justice. I came away disappointed.
 
Good to hear that you also enjoyed them.

I have uplifted an extended version of the soundtrack from 'Pan's Labyrinth' on the 'Music Thread' (Guillermo del Toro has amazing talent)

I have lots of favorites of all kinds. I love well-made romances.
Of course, [1935] "Gone With the Wind" is at the top of my list.
Also [2004] "Phantom of the Opera", [1995] "Sense and Sensibility",
[2005] "Pride and Prejudice." I'm sure all the like-minded ladies here
have seen those. But if you have never seen it, I would also suggest
Cecil B. DeMille's 1934 version of "Cleopatra" starring Claudette Colbert.
I actually prefer that version even though it is black and white. Another
older movie I love is [1949] "The Heiress" starring Olivia de Havilland.
