490,512 | 33,913 | 67,306 | 10 | Absolutely Divine ! | What makes Shakespeare such a classic production is the talented actors like Paul Scofield C . B . E . , C . H . and Irene Worth Honorary C . B . E . in their roles as King Lear and Goneril . I saw Irene Worth on Broadway in Lost in Yonkers but that was nothing compared to her role as Goneril . You forget the other act... |
490,060 | 33,913 | 119,349 | 10 | Whoever said the suburbs are dull and boring are probably from New York City | The Ice Storm is perhaps one of my favorite movies of all time .

490,048 | 33,913 | 86,831 | 10 | He's Back now as Prime Minister ! | James Hacker MP didn't expect that he would be the next prime minister .

490,162 | 33,913 | 94,514 | 10 | It was one of the best shows then and now ! | Murphy Brown's intelligence and comedic wit is pure genius and fun to watch . Lifetime began airing the repeats for a while until 2000 which is a shame because it is such a high quality , well-written , and extremely well-acted show overall . While Candice Bergen plays the title character , she never uses her status to... |
490,775 | 33,913 | 74,958 | 10 | Simply Divine ! | I will always remember this film not for " I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore " but for the performances of a first rate cast including the late Peter Finch , the wonderful Faye Dunaway , William Holden , and Beatrice Straight's Oscar winning role as the cheated wife .

490,807 | 33,913 | 75,005 | 10 | A Terrific Horror Film ! | The Omen is one of my favorite films of all time .

490,424 | 33,913 | 190,332 | 10 | Ang Lee's Best Film to Date as of 2006 | First , I don't think it matters that there are subtitles and the language is Chinese .

The story is also told with great costumes , ar... |
490,517 | 33,913 | 106,028 | 10 | Best Cop Show Ever ! | I still miss a show like this drama . It had a first cast , crew , and writing that no other show on television had until that point .

490,543 | 33,913 | 89,069 | 10 | An Excellent Television Still Relevant for Today's Audiences ! | An Early Frost was by far superior . It was done gently without insulting or preaching to the audience . It was one of those movies that helped explain homosexuality and AIDS to the audience without being angry .

489,989 | 33,913 | 358,856 | 10 | Welcome to Britain ! Land of the Queen ! | Little Britain really surprised me and entertained me at the same time with Lucas and WIlliams's talents to spoof famous British figures like Dame Barbara Cartland .
