84 Charing Cross Road is a lovely, refreshingly simple, and very funny movie. It includes excellent performances from Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins, and great directing from David Hugh Jones. If you enjoyed the film as much as I did, I recommend reading the book it's based on. 10/10, my favorite film of all time.
