Footballers' Wives (2002)
pretty fun
despite myself I kinda like it. It just came out in the U.S., and I think the fanbase here will build over time. Pretty crazy stuff! Someone told me that it was the basis for Desperate Housewives. Is this true? Anyone know?
Anyway you can find the DVD's on Amazon. I don't know what it is about British television it seems to be everywhere lately, and with the low quality of US TV at the moment.
Well
that's why I'm checking these out

Sunset Story (2003)
a lovely and real look at the elderly, friendship and dignity of our last chapters.
This enchanting and somewhat melancholy documentary chronicling the last stages of life for two elderly women named Irja(81) and Lucille (95 who have become best friends after being placed in a retirement home for aging left wing radicals. Though just as a backdrop, Sunset Hall (the retirement home) provides a unique stage to see how the last years of life for the two women is played out. Sometimes sad, other times so full of joy that you pause while watching considering your own mortality, and the dignity that our elders deserve. Such a stark and real look at our humanity in its last stages that for anyone I think this film is a must see. For me, the funniest portions were watching Irja's upbeat optimism constantly coming in contact with Lucille's dry, cynical eye. Hee larious! Check it out, it's worth watching.
