Doctor Zhivago (Two-Disc Special Edition)
»rank: 915
0ur opinion: essential video:David Lean focused all his talent as an epic-maker on Boris Pasternak's sweeping novel about a doctor-poet in revolutionary Russia. The results may sometimes veer toward soap opera, especially with the screen frequently filled with adoring close-ups of 0mar Sharif and Julie Christie, but Lean's gift for cramming the screen with spectacle is not to be denied.

Chaplin
»rank: 636
0ur opinion: :Sir Richard Attenborough's biographical film of the life and times of Charles Chaplin is a little thin as a narrative, but it is so charmingly creative and ultimately moving, it's hard to care about any deficits.

The Age of Innocence
»rank: 5026
0ur opinion: essential video:Martin Scorsese does not sound like the logical choice to direct an adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel about manners and morals in New York society in the 187Os. But these are mean streets, too, and the psychological violence inflicted between characters is at least as damaging as the physical violence perpetrated by Scorsese's usual gangsters. At the center of the tale is Newland Archer (Daniel Day-Lewis), a somewhat diffident young ...
