I won't bother seeing any until Voyage of the Dawntreader and The Silver Chair. Unless someone lends me a child, then I might consider it. I just figure the differences between the films and the books I knew almost by heart would bother me too much if I didn't have the excuse of a little one to take.

I would love it if The Silver Chair was really drab and grey in look, cold and scary in feel. When I read it, it reminded me of a TV programme for schools we watched each week called How We Used to Live, which always seemed to be about the terrible austerity of the thirties.

Cold, hungry, wet, floundering around without a clue, buried alive (to my child's mind). And it follows the bright sunlight of Dawntreader! I loved it.
