84 Charing Cross Road (1987)
Helen Hanff (Anne Bancroft), a feisty New York writer, mails a letter to a small London bookshop requesting some rare English classics. Frank Doel (Anthony Hopkins), the reserved English bookseller, answers her request, beginning a touching and humorous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades. Frank and Helen draw us into their lives -- and their extraordinary friendship -- with their intimate, richly detailed letters.
