Necessities for a Proper Bean Buff

	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Two Disc Theatrical Edition) [2001] Buy new: £5.11 / Used from: £0.87 Absolutely the best film of the year - possibly of the decade. Sean shines as the valiant Boromir. Brilliantly, powerfully done.
	The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Four Disc Collector's Box Set) [2001] Buy used from: £44.95 Extra footage promises to be quite exciting - expect more scenes with Boromir.
	Sean Bean: The Biography by Laura Jackson Buy used from: £20.99 Less informative than I'd like, and unofficial, but still a good afternoon's read. Worth buying simply for the cover...and the pages of gorgeous colour photos inside!
	King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Junior Classics) by Benedict Flynn Buy new: £7.14 / Used from: £4.58 Aimed for children but enjoyable for adults. Well-written, and skilfully narrated in Sean's own lovely Yorkshire and a variety of other accents. He brings the legend alive!
	Sharpe's Devil by Bernard Cornwell Buy used from: £0.43 Sean brings Bernard Cornwell's novel to life - you are literally transported to Sharpe's world. The narration is just right, with perfect expression - a fabulous listening experience!
	Sharpe's Tiger by Bernard Cornwell Buy used from: £0.24 Ibid. Storytelling at its very finest, thanks both to author and narrator. Don't miss this one.
	Sharpe's Rifles / Sharpe's Eagle [1993] Buy new: £1.38 / Used from: £1.35 This is where it all starts. Action, romance, comedy, swashbuckling...and a drop-dead gorgeous hero. What Women REALLY Want.
	Sharpe's Company / Sharpe's Enemy [1994] Buy new: £1.38 / Used from: £0.88 These with the first two are the best of the bunch. Sharpe's character is further developed, as are the Chosen Men. A fully enjoyable romp. And Peter Postlethwaite is fantastic as Hakeswill.
	Over the Hills and Far Away: The Music of Sharpe [SOUNDTRACK] Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.99 True, the music is lovely and John Tams is quite talented...but the real reason I bought this was to hear Sean narrate the last thirty seconds of the Prologue. :-)
	Lady Chatterley [1993] Buy used from: £0.98 The novel is brought to life. Very interesting exposition of the class wars in pre-WWII England. Even more interesting is the exposition of other things...
	When Saturday Comes [1996] Buy used from: £2.84 Sean Bean and football in one film - very enjoyable. And he DOESN'T DIE at the end!!
	Extremely Dangerous [1999] Buy used from: £8.99 Taut, suspenseful thriller with circuitous plot and a gorgeous male lead. What more could you ask for? Sean gets to live in this one, too.
	Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina [1997] Buy used from: £14.00 Anna is a wet dishrag, but Sean's Vronsky is very enjoyable and cuts quite a dashing figure in a uniform! The glittering ballroom scene is a fabulous treat amidst the overall dullness.
	Stormy Monday [1988] Buy used from: £1.49 Sean's first major film role. He's as adorable as a puppy in this. (Sting's quite good too. Just ignore Melanie Griffith!)
	Black Beauty [1994] Buy used from: £0.01 A fine, enjoyable version of Sewell's novel, but the true Bean fanatic will buy this not for the beautiful horses, but for the beautiful Farmer Grey.
	Ronin [1998] Buy used from: £1.35 Buy this only if you are very interested in long, drawn-out, apparently plotless movies. Sean's only in the first half-hour.
	Inspector Morse - Absolute Conviction - Series 6 - Episode 4 [1987] Buy used from: £1.07 A rather obscure role, but very enjoyable nonetheless. Sean is - what else? - the crook Alex Bailey.
	Vicar of Dibley, The - Seasonal Specials [1994] Buy used from: £2.50 Another TV cameo for Sean - this time as himself (next to Christ, the most important man in the world!). As usual, he doesn't get the girl, but it's quite good fun!
