Odd, "Mostly Harmless" is my favorite book by any author. The Great Sandwich Maker! The malfunctioning ship's computer! The conflict between science and religion! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Mk. 2! And oh, what a brilliant ending! How can you not love it? It's just overflowing with brilliant ideas.

And yeah, the movie was only good for hollywood. But I'll disagree about the BBC show- it wasn't very good. Those actors were wonderful on the radio show (which is brilliant, of course), but they weren't very good at giving physical performances.
