You're flicking through channels and unexpectedly you find it...

One of the greatest films ever made which it is compulsory to watch again, no matter how many times you've seen it before.

It's quite enjoyable and the acidulous undertone is often missed, it's taking the piss out of the godawful book (unfortunately you have to read the book to know this, and I wouldn't inflict that on anyone).
