Plot:
Beginning in the 1930's, "The English Patient" tells the story of Count Almasy who is a Hungarian map maker employed by the Royal Geographical Society to chart the vast expanses of the Sahara Desert along with several other prominent explorers.

I've seen most of your so-called classics and good cinema, but 'The English Patient' stands out. It is an amazing film, although there are people who are unable to appreciate its wonder, its a must-watch. Do watch it, you'll be doing yourself a favour. Haunting...heartbreaking yet hopeful. And Fiennes has never been so good!
