A Room With a View is one of my favorite period pictures based on a classic text. We watched it in my Adaptation class and I think the class got a kick out of seeing some Harry Potter actors (Maggie Smith, Helena Bonham Carter) in earlier roles, as well as seeing Daniel Day Lewis playing the ultimate upper-class British twit. I warned them about the bathing scene with the full-frontal male nudity. Even so, there was quite a reaction: groans that turned to laughter as it went on. Maybe I'll start next week by asking them about that.
