2005 Nobel Prize for Literature goes to Harold Pinter

The gritty playwright finally did it.

In my book, his work on the films "The Servant" (1963), "Langrishe, Go Down" (1970), and, especially "The Homecoming" (1969) is excellent.

'Langrishe Go Down' the film is weak compared to the book. I know that often goes without say, but the film seems to get a lot more attention than the book so I think it's a point worth making in this case.

Fyi - the movie is from '78. Somebody has to keep Mr Killgoar honest, he's notorious historical revisionist!
