where may I find this classic?

But there is many other fine performances in this intelligent adaptation of a truely great play.

The greatest, funniest and smartest script ever written gets superior treatment by dreamcast headed by the magnetic Bette Davis in a career-defining performance.

where can I find this?

Katherine Hepburn gives her greatest performance - and that says a lot! - in this truely royal drama. The film won several OScars incl. one for Hepburn - her third.

A simply wonderful love story that will make you weep - but thank to the performances - in particulary the breathtaking beautiful Vivien Leigh's - you have no reason to feel ashamed. Just lovely :)

The darkest and deepest of all Ingmar Bergman film is highlighted by great performances - in particular Harriet Andersson and Liv Ullmann.

Forget about An Affair to Remember, Sleepless in Seattle and the 1993-version (which only reddeming quality was the last fine role for Katherine Hepburn).

Meryl even manages a credibel danish accent - and that is coming from a Dane :)

A unforgettable masterpiece by the deeply original Emir Kusturica. Do not miss this one!

Isabelle Adjani surpasses even her unforgettable performance in Truffaut's Adele H as the mentally unstable artist Camille Claudel. Gerard Depardieu is a fine match in this exquisite production.

Gerard Depardieu finally gets the role he was born to play and do not let you down. His performance surpasses even Jose Ferrers Oscar-winning turn 38 years earlier. A stunning production with a breakthrough performance from Vincent Perez (Indochine).

Despite the parodies and the jokes this is still very seductive Hollywood filmmaking with Tom Hanks surpassing even his moving Oscar-winning performance in Forrest Gump.

Simply the best gay movie of all time, but much more than that. Because of Hollywood conservatism it lost the Best Picture Oscar to a non-gay movie - as is always the case with gay-related Oscar-candidates incl. Cabaret and The Hours.

Irene Dunne proved that she was as fine a dramatic actress as anybody in this moving classic.

Probably the funniest movie of all times and certainly the finest of the Marx Brothers films with a magnificent Margareth Dumont in support.

One of the finest and most underrated films of Steven Spielbergs career with a breaktthrough performance by Christian Bale.

The best script of the century (written by David Hare) expertly acted in every single role. Kidman may have won the Oscar, but it is Meryl Streep that holds the movie together and finally Julianne Moore that moves the most.

Wonderfully free-sprited movie and therefore a fine reflection of its heroine played by the terrible talented Meryl Streep. But Cher actually gives a good performance too - her best by far - and both Kurt Russell and Diana Scarwid offers find support under Mike Nichols' easygoing direction.

The father of Angelina Jolie, Jon Voigt, proves himself more talented than his daughter in the title role. The theme song will haunt you forever.

One of Altman's last movies is also one of his finest - with a sublim cast incl. Helen Mirren, Maggie Smith, Alan Bates, Eileen Atkins, Emily Watson, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Ryan Phillippe.

Max Von Sydow gives the performance of his life is this epic drama, which is probably the finest danish film production of all time.

The finest of all the great films to come from Iran in recent years.

The key film to watch from the neorealist era, an instant classic and Oscar-winner. Truely one of the great Italian films ever made.

This must be considered the best performance by an actress ever to be captured on film. Meryl Streep also gets fine support from Peter Macnicol and Kevin Kline. Pakula's best film with a beautiful design and a haunting score.

a dark anti-war movie that lingers in your mind many years after. Carried by two strong central performances by Noiret og Azema. Arguably Tavernier's greatest film.

John Ford's greatest achievement and one of the finest films ever made. Henry Fonda gives his finest performance ever and Jane Darwell is immortal in an Oscar-winning portrayal of his mum.

magnificent production starring some of europes finest actors incl. the great Marcello Mastroianni as a aging Casanova, Hanna Schygulla, Jean-Claude Brialy and veteran actor Jean-Louis Barrault (Children of Paradise)

The most original film comic to come from France in his best film - which he directed himself. A masterpiece.

The magnificent Simone Signoret gives the performance of her life in this Oscar-winning drama.

The most deeply moving and satisfying of all Akira Kurosawas great films.

One of the true classics of French cinema with great performances by the two children incl. a star-making turn by the little Birgitte Fossey.

Oh Julie... Despite that haircut we love you. Christopher Plummer isn't bad either, but my favorite song is still Climb Every Mountain - performed by Peggy Wood. The most endearing musical of all time.

The most beautiful film of Martin Scorsese's career

Tough but moving and ultimately unforgettable father-son drama set in the mountains of Italy.

Still by far the best film adaptation of Emily Brontes masterpiece which made a star of Laurence Olivier and inspired Kate Bush to write á classy song.

A mysterious and deeply facinating story of a crime that maybe - maybe never has taken place. Vanessa Redgrave gracefully adds to the mystery in this remarkable piece of work so typical for its director and its time.

Simone Signoret was never more captivating than in this moving costume drama, a sad tale of a fatal love-triangle told with poignancy and poetry.

Perhaps the best film in Ray's trilogy about the boy Apu, which still stands as the greatest achievement in India's film history. Magical!

Dreyer's masterpiece is highlighed by breathtaking cinematography and some stylished acting. Based on the great Danish play by the same name. Unforgettable ending.

A clever, witty and sophisticated script is brought to life through superb acting - in particular from Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliot, Rupert Graves and Judi Dench.

Emir Kusturicas grandest achievement with a final that will blow you away. A truely amazing piece of work that deservedly won the Palme D'or in Cannes.

Luchino Viscontis poetic masterpiece with a splendid cast headed by the gorgeous Alain Delon was in fact the inspiration for Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.

Jeanne Moreau in her most famous role singing her signature tune in Francois Truffauts timeless poetic classic.

Perhaps the most visually stunning of all Zhang Yimous film (it won the technical prize in Cannes and was nominated for an Oscar in the cinematography section, the film also features one Gong Lis strongest performance - a complete change of pace for her compared with The Story of Qui Ju. If that film proved the depht to her acting, this film is a tribute to her impressive range. She has never looked more radiant than here and she even gets to sing and dance, which she does with charm and flair. You will find yourself humming one of her songs many months after you have seen the film!

Zhang Yimou won his first Golden Lion for this unforgettable film and his then girlfriend Gong Li avoids all glamour and turns in the performance of her life - for which she deservedly won the best actress in Venice. Great and wise storytelling - and not without a sence of fun.

Generally considered the key work in Zhang Yimous outstanding career, this is daring and dazzling filmmaking of the highest order. A masterpiece - you bet! Gong Li is stunning as ever and Ge You (also in Farewell My Concubine) won the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival.

One of the greatest animated films of all times and an instant classic that deservedly picked up both an Oscar and The Golden Bear in Berlin. Proved that from an artistic point of view the US cartoons are way behind what's being produced in Asia. Magical story and moving score - this is a true masterpiece.

So beautiful it hurts :) Simple naive but deeply moving filmmaking that made a star out of the adórable Zhang Ziyi. As always with Zhang Yimou the film score is truely brilliant and brings the film to another level.

This brilliant film established Zhang Yimou as one of the world's greatest storytellers and also made a star out of his then girlfriend Gong Li. The film was deservedly nominated for a best foreign film Oscar and did pick up the best director prize at The Venice Film Festival.

Probably the best movie ever made about the strong relations between two women. Vanessa Redgrave and Jane Fonda does some of the best work of their careers, and the starglittering supporting cast includes Oscar-winner Jason Robards and the debut of Meryl Streep - who just needs one scene to make us know that here is something real special.

This film is an early masterpiece by Sydney Pollack and Jane Fonda gives the finest performance of her career.

This is one of the most underrated of the Tennessee Williams-film, but its moody sence of poetry has stood the test of time. Natalie Wood was never better and both she and excellent Kate Reid (as the mum) deserved Oscar-nominations.

This film is not as stated from 2007 but is actually 50 years older. Not that is shows - this is a timeless classic that everybody deserves to see. And then you will want to watch it again and again with your children, godchildren and grandchildren.

The most beautiful silent film of all.

Angela Lansbury is Miss Marple and old stars like Rock Hudson, Kim Novak, Tony Curtis etc adds colour, but the real star here is Elizabeth Taylor, and the film is really a tribute to her.

Superior Agatha Christie film with one of the best casts ever! Ustinov is fun as Poiret, Mia Farrow is suitably annoying, Lois Chiles gorgeous, but the real pleasure is seeing Bette Davis and Maggie Smith have a go at one another and last but not least Angela Lansbury in her funniest film performance ever as the druken author of sleeze, Salomé Otterbourne. Add to this some glorious scenery, fabulous Oscar-winning costumes and you've got yourself a true classic.

This superb adaptation of one of the great plays of our times won an ensemble award for the cast. Dean Stockwell confirms the impression from Sons and Lovers that he has a talent beyond his childhood years and Jason Robards gives us the first hints of his future greatness. Ralph Richardson is powerful but the finest performance in the film is by Katherine Hepburn, who deservedly received an Oscar-nomination. This is one of her greatest achievments and one of director Sidney Lumets as well.

Elia Kazan's first masterpiece boast fine performances from Dorothy Mcguire and Oscar-winner James Dunn, but the truely unforgettable performance comes from little Peggy Ann Garner, who was awarded a special oscar for best child performance, and who really makes this one of the greatest children performances ever to grace the screen.

Heartbreaking filmversion of a very moving play with unforgettable performances from Julie Harris, little Brandon de Wilde and the wonderful Ethel Waters. Do not miss this one.

Elizabeth Taylor was never more stunning than in this superior version of one of the best plays by America's greatest playwright, Tennesse Williams. Paul Newman is a good march for Taylor and Burl Ives gives the performance of his life, but the whole cast is excellent. A true classic.

The crówning achievment of Bertolucci features fine performances from De Niro, Depardieu, Burt Lancaster and Sterling Hayden, but is the work of the actresses Dominque Sandra, Stefania Sandrelli and Laura Betti that really sticks in your mind and heart.

A milestone in japanese Cinema, that proves that Shorei Imamura at his best can compete with both Kurosawa and Ozu.Stunning images with a strong sence of nature. Winner of the Palme D'or in Cannes.

You feel like you have stepped right into a classic painting while watching this movie. A wise and beautiful tale of a life well spent, but now coming to a close. Perhaps the most beautiful life of Bertrand Taverniers career.

The best film of all the great Zhang Yimou movies - a poetic masterpiece.
Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival as best film.
The children are wonderful and the music score simply brilliant. Do not miss this one!

Warren Beatty's greatest achievment and one of the most impressive American films ever produced. It is also one of the finest love-story in the tradition of Gone with the wind and Doctor Zhivago. Diane Keaton does the best work of her career, and Jack Nicholsons portrayal of playwright Eugene O'Neill is also one of his sharpest performances. Add an Oscar-winning turn by Maureen Stabelton, and some amazing testimonies from people who actually knew Jack Reid and Louise Bryant, and you have an astounding masterpiece.

This definitive Greenwich Village-movie is the best thing Paul Mazursky ever done. The whole cast shines incl. a young Christopher Walken and a heartbreaking Lois Smith. But the film belongs to Shelley Winters, who plays the ultimate jewish mum. A modern classic for sure.

The crowning achievement of Geraldine Pages career. After years of unsuccessful Oscar-nominations she finally won over the likes of Whoppi Goldberg (The Color Purple) and Meryl Streep (Out of Africa) - and deservedly so! A simple beautiful script by Horton Foote and a poetic film score was all the help she needed.

A truely magical film about the real Alice in Wonderland with the role of a lifetime for Coral Browne and a fine support performance by Ian Holm.

Superbly elegant adaptation of a true classic, this remains Stephen Frears crowning achievement. Glenn Close gives her greatest performance (she clearly should have won the Oscar) and John Malkovich is an intriguing match. Fine support from Michelle Pheiffer and veteran actress Mildred Natwick + lush Oscar-winning costumes and sets makes this a winner.

The finest hour (in fact only a half) of Laurel and Hardy, the greatest comedy duo of all time, and the only one to ever win an Oscar.

A underrated masterpiece by the great Mario Monicelli - his finest work of all. Marcello Mastroianni gives yet another fine performance and Annie Girandot also makes her mark. Don't miss it!

This Oscar-winning masterpiece by the great Vittorio de Sica came out in the early 70es (unlike what it says in here) and features some breahtakingly beautiful performances from Lino Capolicchio, Dominique Sandra and Helmuth Berger. Stunnning camerawork and exquisite costumes. Prepare to be spellbinded.

A marvelously witty script by Princess Lea (yes - Carrie Fisher wrote this) is the foundation for this delightful and inventive Mike Nichols-comedy. Meryl Streep and Shirley Maclaine are both magnificent in there own way and each and every role is performed to perfection. Add three sensational musical numbers and you've got yourself a real winner!

If you do not love Cinema Paradiso, you do not like movies - it is a simple as that. Phillippe Noiret gives one of his finest perfomances even though he is up against one of the most disarming child performances ever to be put on film. And has there ever been a more gorgeous looking man than Marco Leonardi??? Ennio Morricone has composed one of his most beautiful scores for this film, which deservedly won the foreign film Oscar. And if you do not cry at the end of this movie, you do not have a heart.

What a joy this movie is :) Albert Finney, who had he breakthrough in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, becomes a star with this bawdy comedy of errors. He is surrounded with goodlucking and wellacting women such as Susannah York, Diane Cilento, Joyce Redman and Joan Greenwood, but it is ultimately the veterans Hugh Griffith and Edith Evans that steals the film. A lusty charmer this one - just like its hero :)

Pedro Almodovar's film is also one of his finest with Antonio Banderas in what still remains his finest performance and a magnificent one by the outrageous Carmen Maura.

A truely magical film with Oscar-nominated Johnny Depps finest performance to date. Kate Winslet is lovely as his eternal love and Julie Christie gives a strong supporting performance as her strict mum. But the performance that will break your heart is the one coming from little Freddie Highmore, who along with all the others deserved at least an Oscar-nomination. Superb production all the way and a very moving original score are just some of the other treats. This was clearly the best film of 2004, which was acknowledged by The National Board of Review.

After a brilliant career as a screenwriter/actress with hubby Garson Kanin) and an Oscar-winning supporting performance in Polanskis Rosemarys Baby finally gives the performance of her life in this dark and deadly funny yet life-afirming film. An odd classic directed by that undervalued man of the 70es, Hal Ashby - but a classic indeed.

Spellbinding love story with Dirk Bogarde giving the performance of his life. Directed with superior sence of style and grace by the great Luchino Visconti.

Madonna most certainly did not deserve a golden globe for her socalled performance in this film, because it proves what a limited actress she is. Even her singing is kind of flat - she always was more of a personality than a voice - but to think that the producers could have gotten Meryl Streep makes you wanna cry. Cause this is a wellproduced film otherwise and Antonio Banderas is surprisingly good in it. Worst moment: Madonna singing Dont cry for me Argentina with her hands out towards the people. No wonder that they protested in Argentina!

This film confirms that Claudette Colbert was Hollywoods most consistently good comedienne - and Ray Milland is surprisingly good too - his best comic performance. But how can they go wrong with a Billy Wilder/Charles Brackett-script and an Oscar-winning story?Claudette Colbert also gets to sing a little of the imortal Dream Lover that Jeanette Macdonald introduced in The Love Parade opposite a former Colbert co-star Maurice Chevalier. So enjoy - it's great fun :)

One of the first time-travel films with an Oscar-nominated Leslie Howard. The rest of the cast is pretty dull, but this is a beautiful production with nice sets and costumes. And it is the film that introduced Leslie Howard to the americans, so it deserves to be seen and remembered.

The first talkie version of a famed play this deserves to be rediscovered. Ann Harding received an Oscar-nomination in the Hepburn part but it's really Mary Astor, who gives the best performance in the film -yet again.

God bless Billie Burke. She irritated me for years with her overly cheerfull way but when you see her in this, as well as the good witch is The Wizard of Oz and not least as Topper's wife, you realize what a gifted comedienne she was. This one even got her a well-deserved Oscar-nomination.

Cooper at his best - visually as well as actingwise - thanks to stunning cinematography and crisp dialogue by Clifford Odett. Madeleine Carroll is the weak point in this movie, but Akim Tamiroffs oscar-nominated performance and atmospheric art directions adds to this slightly overlooked films qualities.
