For those who want to watch 'David Copperfield' but don't want to buy it (and
I don't blame you - I was entertained but I doubt I'd ever watch it again),
there's always online DVD rental. Most sites have a free trial so there's
no commitment. I rented it from Mentura.com ('educational' DVDs, 30 day trial,
ships from CA), but Netflix has it too (http://www.netflix.com/MovieDisplay?movieid=60025195),
as does GreenCine.com (although I'm not sure GreenCine currently offers a
free trial). It looks like Walmart and the new Blockbuster Online do not.
I'd be lost without my Netflix subscription. :-)

Incidentally, I completely
agree with what David Thewlis said. Rupert is the most natural actor of the
three. In my opinion, dating back to the first film, Rupert has always given
the freshest, least studied performance. The problem is the scripts rarely
give Ron anything to do other than look stunned and go "Wicked!". Harry's
the hero, Hermione spouts exposition, and Ron provides the bit of comic relief
to end the scene. Thank goodness POA started shaking up that format. Hopefully
it'll continue with GOF.
