Pros: A superb film with great lessons for our day.
Cons: None.
When I was a teenager, way-y-y back in the 1960s, I first developed my passion for movies. Saturdays were always my favorite day of the week, for it was on that glorious first school-free day of the weekend that I would invariably walk the three blocks...

Pros: Scofield; supporting actors; script; direction, cinematography
Cons: Slow pace (if that bothers you); historical context not always perfectly clear
If you're familiar with the history of the English monarchy, you might know this little ditty: "Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived." The macabre list is a succinct way of recalling precisely what happened to the six wives of Henry ...

Pros: One of the best lessons about integrity ever made.
Cons: Few if any.
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS is a timeless movie which I would certainly include in any "ten best of" list. It was released in 1966, but it deals with the story of a man who lived several centuries ago in England,; a man who stands like a giant...

Pros: Good costumes, Good cinematography, Generally good acting, Interesting character, Good lines.
Cons: Light on DVD bonus features, Pacing issues
It has been a long time since I sat down and watched a 1960s-produced period drama of times long past. In high school, I loved the Zeffirelli version of "Romeo & Juliet." Since then, about the only similar film I have seen and enjoyed was "A Lion In ...

Pros: You will remain speechless with the drama! I mean it
Cons: If you are not a avid fan of English Chuch, parts are choppy.
A movie of movies. A show of shows. A classic of classics. This movie is a great representation of the rift in England beause of the king. The action is superb, the words are true to life. You will see jealousy, envy and romance all in one.

Pros: great moral and theme
Cons: took a long time to develop
Sir Thomas More was a hero for standing up for what he believed in, even though he knew it would get him killed. He knew that he should not voice his disagreement with the king because the king had been known to kill people if they came into conflict...
