Friday, November 21, 2008: Brief Encounter, the 1940s movie starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson, is one of my favorite all time films. The story about two middle class married strangers meeting and falling in love is a universal story that could happen anywhere. The fact that these two people are adulterers (technically) doesn’t really make much difference. Their love is real and they give it up for the sake of the families they have. It is a heartbreaking story and one of the best romantic movies of all time. David Lean did a superb job directing it.
