    I think I was influenced by how much my grandfather liked the David Lynch version. But there are certainly parts of it that are memorable - including Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck.

      Patrick Stewart is always just so darn likable. :)

        Agreed. Though, when I read the book this time, I didn't think Gurney Halleck came across as quite as likable.

        @caelreth -

        I remember Gurney being very strict in the books, not at all warm or affectionate.

        Good - wasn't just me, then :) Though, he does often sing in the book as he did in the movie. But he does seem more mirthful in the movie than in the book.
