    I enjoyed reading "A Tale of Two Cities" and vaguely recall an old black-and-white movie of it. A new miniseries would be welcome!

      Yes, there were a number of adaptations in recent decades, but I myself haven't seen any so far, hope they do nice casting.

    Neither of these really intrigue me. I remember trying to get through A Tale of Two Cities. Ugh, I never did finish it..

    I never got around to reading A Tale of Two Cities, but from what Jax says, I suppose that's a good thing. I may try the miniseries though.
