Brief Encounter (1945 David Lean)

Now, my absolutely favourite moment is when he says 'Thursday?' and she doesn't reply, just turns into the carriage. It's the look on her face - helpless, hopeless, unhappy infatuation.

Also like the scene where she flees from the flat and we have two shots of her running, filmed from a vehicle, then as she runs out of steam the camera returns to a fixed position.

There are lots of clocks and references to time.

Also like the 'Flames of Passion' trailer is followed immediately by ad for pram!
