However, I suspect that they might find what is quite a slow film very boring.

First in the queue is Barry Lyndon; do you think it would be okay to watch for eleven year old girls?<br />Thank you again for the great posts!<br /><br />Daryl Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-63764304867606147322015-07-14T23:03:43.030+01:002015-07-14T23:03:43.030+01:00I must confess I've never seen it.

I remember getting very annoyed with it - mainly because I thought it could have been so much better.
