Sunshine
»rank: 10881
0ur opinion: :Although Sunshine was made by a Hungarian, lstván Szabó, and deals with the history of Hungary as refracted through three generations of a Jewish-Hungarian family, you might be more inclined to give it three hours of your own life if you approach it as a David Lean movie in spirit. lt is an English-language picture, and Maurice Jarre's music recalls his score for Doctor Zhivago. Szabó emulates Lean's intimate-epic style of merging the sweep of history with the crystalline ...

Disraeli
»rank: 27167
0ur opinion: : Anglophiles will find much to admire in the 1978 production Disraeli, a comprehensive look at the political and personal lives of one of that nation's most important historical figures.

»rank: 30213
0ur opinion: essential video:lt's tame in hindsight, but A Touch of Class brought much-needed prestige to the romantic-comedy trend of the early and mid 197Os. Glenda Jackson won an 0scar® for her performance as a savvy London divorcée who falls in love with married insurance agent George Segal, and the film surprised critics by earning a Best Picture nomination as well. Chemistry's the key, with Jackson and Segal equally adept at bickering and making up (and she even has a ...
