Hello all!

I'm new here, female, 32. I was wondering if Barrett's last
film, "Scenes from The Class Struggle in Beverly Hills" is worth
watching? I may have seen it ages and ages ago but honestly don't
remember it so I can't be sure. Is his part small? Medium? How much
screen time does he have? It's a hard film to find as I looked for
it on NetFlix and they don't have it. I would like to see it, but I
don't want to go crazy looking for it if Barrett doesn't really do
all that much in it. The pictures you have in the photos section
seem to suggest he's in a good part of the film.

My favorite of Barrett's films is The Secret Garden, but not because
it's a good adaptation because it really isn't very good in that
direction. I thought Barrett did a good job in it even though he
didn't have the Yorkshire dialect down. At least he fared better
than Gennie James who kept wandering from a Southern American accent
into a British one and back again! :) I actually have a slew of
screencaps from that film that I made if anyone wants to have a look
or use them for anything. I wasn't sure if I should upload any to
the SG folder you have on here or not. These are a smidge clearer,
though the SG dvd really wasn't transferred very well. *sigh*

There are 114 and quite heavily Barrett since like I said, it's my
favorite of his roles because I'm a great fan of the book.

I also loved the film D.A.R.Y.L and remember that before it came out
they had a hotline you could call to find out what DARYL stood for,
then you went to the theatre and you got a free poster if you told
them what it meant. I got a poster and was quite pleased since a
group of young boys at the info booth didn't have a clue as to what
it stood for, lol:)

I also loved The Neverending Story (wonderful book!) of course who
hasn't seen Cocoon? His part was quite small in that, but still it's
a good film overall.

I've been so eager to find out what became of Barrett! All I hear
and read is rumors and I can never be sure what is real or true.

Good to be here and hopefully we can get to the bottom of this
mystery!
