What do you think? I bet some of you were quite shocked to read that I ranked Diane above Ingrid. I might shift that #1 title between them constantly in the future but at the moment I can only think about Diane.

One more thing. I'll do the mysterious year next and 1964 comes right after that as it seems that I can get The Pumpkin Eater, but I need some time. But, I'm going to do 1964 after the next year.
