This movie has one of my all time favorite scenes, when the author sees one of his characters come to life for the first time, complete with his own free will).<br />There's a movie about Virginia Wolfe I've never seen, The Hours.<br />And the first movie about writers I ever saw, Funny Farm, with Chevy Chase.<br />Check out this list of 20 movies about writers, most of which I've never seen: http://www.geekweek.com/2010/02/20-greatest-movies-about-writers.htmlLori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-19369397786711876362012-02-11T15:48:21.608-06:002012-02-11T15:48:21.608-06:00It's true - there really aren't that many ...It's true - there really aren't that many movies about authors.
