Hope and Glory, yes! Such a wonderful film, kid's POV on the Blitz, with all sorts of complex adult relationships seen but not understood. It has some of my favorite scenes in any movie.
No, I know you are not anti war stories as a genre! Your comment just got me thinking (again) about why it seems to be my favorite genre to read and write. Odd, and I wonder sometimes about how much I personally might romanticize. However, I believe I 'm not a big fan of romanicizing anything, even romance! Heh.
Perhaps I can watch Ep 2 of Sherlock this afternoon. I am laid out with a cold and trying to parent and rest is not working very well. I think SO might take the kid away for a while and then I can watch and react. I also have a Sherlock fic that is one good writing session away from finished (end of an old one, not a new one). So Sherlock something or other shall happen if I get a time-out from parenting. :) I'll keep you posted. *hug*
