The screenplays and movies discussed include: A Beautiful Mind, Adaptation, Almost Famous, Ararat, Black Hawk Down, Blade 2, Cast Away, Catch Me if You Can City by the Sea, The Cell, Dancer in the Dark, Far From Heaven, Frailty, The Gift, Gladiator, John Q., Insomnia In the Bedroom, Memento, MIB2, Minority Report, Monster's Ball, Ocean's Eleven, Panic Room, Pay it Forward Pearl Harbor, Proof of Life, Road to Perdition, Signs, Spy Game, We Were Soldiers, Windtalkers, Traffic, Unbreakable","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49758351884561,"sku":"CIN0961511400A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49795506667793,"sku":"CIN0961511400G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50624538509585,"sku":"CIN0961511400VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0961511400.jpg?v=1750981934"},{"product_id":"kokoda-the-track-back-book-ruth-james-9780645453935","title":"KOKODA - the Track Back","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe brutal mountain track hidden in the belly of the Owen Stanley Range taunted our embattled Diggers over 80 years ago, and today theirs and the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels' combined victory enables our trekkers the freedom to pay homage...and much more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreams begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEternally enchanted by the people and highlands of Papua New Guinea, one trekker is compelled by the ruggedness of the Kokoda Track and a dream took hold.
