  1. Great bookstores! I think Rizzoli is beautiful. It makes me want to go to NY just to see it in person. Reading this post also reminded me that I need to see Before Sunset (I saw Before Sunrise and never saw the second one).

  3. Such a fun list!

    Maybe I'm blind and missed it, but it seems that you missed a rather obvious one... "The Librarian"! It's actually a series of 3 made-for-TV movies. It has it's moments of cheese but it's pretty fun.

    Also, not a movie, but a tv show that I hope you have seen: "Black Books" starring Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey. Hilarious!
