A story about love and the love of books, 84 Charing Cross Road features Academy Award winners Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins in stellar performances. Helen Hanff (Bancroft), a feisty New York writer, mails a letter to a small London bookshop requesting some rare English classics. Frank Doel (Hopkins), the reserved English bookseller, answers her request, beginning a touching and humorous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades.
Hanff's acerbic wit starkly contrasts Doel's aloof British demeanor, but their mutual love of books forms a bond that deepens with each passing year. Their intimate, richly detailed letters draw us into their lives as Helen and Frank share their dreams, hopes, sorrows and joys - and in doing so, develop a lasting and extraordinary friendship.

Amazing film, horrible DVD. - 3 out of 5 (2/6/2003)
In a time where violence, promiscuous sex, drugs, foul language, and bigotry are a norm that people just placidly accept, it is nice to see that attention is still being paid to things such as emotions, relationships, joy and sorrow. After many years of waiting, 84 Charing Cross Road (theatrically released in1986) has made it to DVD. This disk was released with little fanfare back in May of 2002 and I wish I would have known. This movie is truly what film should be about. It has the long los
