The Anthony Hopkins movie Shadowlands about CS Lewis when he met his wife is a fantastic film. I'm surprised it's not talked about more often except that of course she dies. But it's a true story! The fact that CS was buddies with Tolkien is also fascinating. Both authors are still relevant over a half-century later.
