By the strangest of strange coincidences 'National Treasure' was on telly here in Norway last night. Maybe it was European heritage movie weekend.....
Still the nicest of all 'vaguely' archaeological movies has to be 'A Month in the Country' starring Colin Firth ....who is also in 'The English Patient', which has an archaeo-historical undercurrent and
also 'stars' (in extra roles) a number of Brit archaeologists who happened to be working in Tunisia when the North Africa sequence of the movie was shot there....and also stars Ralph Fiennes...whose brother is an archaeologist.
I have this idea for an action movie (apologies to the Wizard of Oz) where an archaeological site hut full of Northampton archaeologists, is lifted up in a tornado and dumped in a different county. But that's probably too far fetched to be appealing...
