3. All My Sons by Arthur Miller (1949) 3/5
Moving story.
4. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee (1962) 4/5
Powerful stuff. Beautiful writing.
5. Annie Hall by Woody Allen & Marshall Brickman (1977) 3/5
God, the neuroses! I always think that people that live in Woody Allen's world probably appreciate his stuff more.
6. Misery by William Goldman (1990) 4/5
The screenplay is so gripping. I'd already seen the film when I read it and it was still an absolute page-turner. Fantastic adaptation.
7. Fat Pig by Neil LaBute (2004) 3/5
I liked it but I can see why you wouldn't.
