I am happy to step a little bit outside the true intent of the category to offer some great giveaways. I trust I won’t hear any complaints, will I?
I haven’t had a chance to watch (or read) any of Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Definitive Collection, which I really wanted to do before I posted it here. I actually checked a book out from the library so that I could read and watch and compare, but I didn’t get around to it. I haven’t read Christie in a while, and I would like to, but maybe one of you is a Poirot fan and would like to do a Books on Screen comparing a movie to the book.
I think that this would make a great gift! I always wonder what to give grandparents, and some of them do have DVD players, so classic films are a great way to go! This set of 12 feature-length films from A&E is available on amazon.
The other film that fits I am including here, simply because it has “tale” in the title (and I have five to give away, so that’s another reason) is A Lobster Tale. I did get a chance to watch this. It’s a fairly family-friendly movie (ages 10 or 12 and up) about greed, true happiness, being who you are — oh, yeah, and a miracle moss.
I will draw from the comments one winner of the Poirot DVD set, and five for A Lobster Tale DVD. Unless you state your preference, your comment will enter you for both prizes.
I’ll post the winners on Wednesday December 3.

I love Poirot and Lobster Tale looks great, too! Thanks for the giveaway!

Either of these prizes will be wonderful additions to our small but growing DVD collection.
David Suchet IS Poirot.
I would be super happy with either of these!

Poirot is perfect for cleaning house to. I’m so comfortably familiar with the stories it doesn’t matter if I run the vacuum for a moment or two, or the faucet, I won’t get lost and I can watch them over and over again.
enter me thanks
I would love these!
I can’t think of anything I would like more.
I love the Poirot mysteries! Actually I was watching one even now as I enter this!!
