I'd have picked Paint Your Wagon for the musical but that's me.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mel Gibson's "Hamlet" too. He was a bit long in the tooth for the role but acquitted himself well in it.
ReplyDeleteI love Doctor Zhivago. Haven't watched it in a while.
ReplyDeleteI'd give the nod for best medieval to "The Lion in Winter." Or maybe "Becket."
ReplyDeleteMy second choice was 'The Lion In Winter' with Katharine Hepburn.
DeleteThese are great choices, O.B.!
ReplyDeleteI would go with Becket too. Musical should always be Rocky Horror but West Side Story was good too.

ReplyDeleteI like each and every movie you mention except I have never (and I have tried several times) found enjoyable "The Godfather". I *know* it is a classic, and a lot of movie-buff relatives argue with me about it, but it just rubs me the wrong way.
Your post has me thinking about what I would select as my top 10. I may have to try a post like that soon myself.
