I am 42 years old; in less than a year I will be dead.”  These opening lines set the stage for American Beauty, a turn-of-the-20th-century picture about the beauty…and dysfunction…of suburban American life.  As Lester awakens to the changes he needs to make to his everyday life, his wife and daughter follow similar journeys, along with his mysterious next-door neighbor.  As Lester's death day looms, the culprits seem to multiply.  Part drama, part comedy, and all dysfunctional does American Beauty still deserve to be seen?  Find out today.Current Rankings:Lawerence of Arabia  The GodfatherAll About EveThe Godfather Part IISilence of the Lambs Gone With Wind It Happened One NightAmadeus The Deer HunterThe StingAll The King's MenThe Lost WeekendBridge on the River KwaiTitanicOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestRain ManSchindler's ListThe French ConnectionOn The WaterfrontThe Sound Of MusicCasablancaAll Quiet on the Western FrontRebeccaIn The Heat of the NightThe Mutiny On The BountyYou Can't Take It With You MartyThe English PatientMrs. MiniverDances With Wolves My Fair LadyPattonGentleman's AgreementHamletCimarron Ben HurChariots of FireGandhiBraveheartUnforgivenAnnie HallShakespeare In LoveDriving Miss DaisyMidnight CowboyBest Years of Our LivesFrom Here to EternityOliver!Forest GumpAround the World in 80 DaysThe Apartment The Last EmperorThe Great ZiegfeldA Man Of All SeasonsThe West Side StoryWingsGrand HotelRockyOut of AfricaTom JonesKramer v KramerLife of Emil ZolaHow Green Was My ValleyPlatoonAn American in ParisGoing My WayGreatest Show On EarthOrdinary PeopleTerms of EndearmentBroadway Melody CavalcadeGigi

“It always works out?” “Why?” “I don't know; it's a mystery.” A play-within-a-play, or rather a play-beyond-a-play, Shakespeare in Love tells the fictional tale of the writing of another fictional tale as a young, upstart Shakespeare struggles to create a new comedy all while living a real-life romance/tragedy in the real world. With an all-star 1990s cast, and copious Shakespeare references and Easter eggs, Shakespeare in Love combines the forbidden love with a Finnes brother from English Patient with the star-crossed lovers of Titanic, all mixed with a Victorian setting.  Largely seen as a surprise in 1998, has Shakespeare proved to be a show for all time?  Find out today!Current RankingsLawerence of Arabia  The GodfatherAll About EveThe Godfather Part IISilence of the Lambs Gone With Wind It Happened One NightAmadeus The Deer HunterThe StingAll The King's MenThe Lost WeekendBridge on the River KwaiTitanicOne Flew Over The Cuckoos NestRain ManSchindler's ListThe French ConnectionOn The WaterfrontThe Sound Of MusicCasablancaAll Quiet on the Western FrontRebeccaIn The Heat of the NightThe Mutiny On The BountyYou Can't Take It With You MartyThe English PatientMrs. MiniverDances With Wolves My Fair LadyPattonGentleman's AgreementHamletCimarron Ben HurChariots of FireGandhiBraveheartUnforgivenAnnie HallDriving Miss DaisyMidnight CowboyBest Years of Our LivesFrom Here to EternityOliver!Forest GumpAround the World in 80 DaysThe Apartment The Last EmperorThe Great ZiegfeldA Man Of All SeasonsThe West Side StoryWingsGrand HotelRockyOut of AfricaTom JonesKramer v KramerLife of Emil ZolaHow Green Was My ValleyPlatoonAn American in ParisGoing My WayGreatest Show On EarthOrdinary PeopleTerms of EndearmentBroadway Melody CavalcadeGigi

“The Emperor has been a prisoner in his own palace since the day that he was crowned, and has remained a prisoner since he abdicated. But now he's growing up, he may wonder why he's the only person in China who may not walk out of his own front door. I think the Emperor is the loneliest boy on Earth.”  1987's The Last Emperor tells the tale of Pu Yi, the eponymous last emperor of China.  Following his childhood, abdication, and eventual alignment with Imperial Japan to regain his power, the movie reveals some never-before-seen locations from China's Forbidden City and a narrative as Shakespearean as it is historical.  Does the Last Emperor continue the trend of solid epics, or does it fade into history with the rest?

“May God grant me vengeance. I pray you live until I return.” While not the most conventional way to say farewell to an old acquaintance, this remark by Judah Ben Hur to his childhood friend definitely makes sense under the circumstances. Formally a prince of Judea, Ben Hur and his family are wrongly accused and sentenced by the invading Roman legions as an example to those who would oppose the Empire. Judah Ben Hur must now use all his will and focus to stay alive and not only avenge this wrong, but find his mother and sister. Sharing the title for Most Oscar Wins Ever, Ben Hur remains an epic undertaking, both to film and to watch, even to this day. Does it deserve the title?

“I hate the British! You are defeated but you have no shame!” Welcome to the River Kwai; as captured British soliders adjust to life in a Japanese prison camp, Lt. Colonel Nicholson (Alec Guinness) struggles to maintain British order in a place of chaos.
