Actually, it's just one movie - they ran the two titles together. Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series is great literature. Marvellously well written, with more than a nod of the head to Jane Austen. I've read the whole series several times over now. Incidentally, that's how I got into BookCrossing - someone in my Patrick O'Brian discussion group (at http://www.hmssurprise.org/ ) mentioned BookCrossing, I took a look and was hooked! -- Peter in Canberra ------------------------ Yahoo!
