There are so many other options, too. Lots of books can be thrown into the fall category despite not being set in the fall. There’s something about breaking open classic literature this time of year that is just so fantastic. And for that, you can never go wrong with Oscar Wilde’s Picture of Dorian Gray or Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. (Callie Liberatos)
Del Toro then departed from thrillers to highlight 1943's Jane Eyre, which he called "the perfect adaptation of a classic." He praised the casting of Fontaine, Orson Welles and an adolescent Elizabeth Taylor and called it the best film of Robert Stevenson's storied career.Continuing that thread, del Toro spotlighted 1943's I Walked with a Zombie from director Jacques Torneur and producer Val Lewton, saying the film is "basically their Jane Eyre, their most magnificent gothic romance."

Thomas Molloy, Sex EducationHasn’t Molloy ever heard of a compliment sandwich? Even if he found Maeve’s story about the eldest Brontë sister boring (which I really doubt it was!), there’s a way to communicate that without totally discouraging her first try. He also throws her phone out a window and later says she’s not cut out to be a writer. As Maeve’s arc proves, a mean teacher can make or break your life ambitions — so why not be nice?

The opening scenes find Frasier complaining to his old university friend Alan Cornwall (Nicholas Lyndhurst) about the lack of female company they had to endure when studying for their English degrees at Oxford all those years ago. 'The only women we could curl up with were the Bronte Sisters,' he bellows, which did make me laugh. And, more importantly, gave me hope. (Jan Moir)
