[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 91981"] Okay this is not easy for me since I love most of his movies but let's give it a try: [B]1. Anne of the Thousand Days (1969)[/B] Richard should have won an Oscar for this part and maybe he would have if it hadn't been John Wayne's turn. Anyway he plays Henry VIII to a T and makes him look sort of mad and passioante all at once. I love historical dramas and have always been fascinated by the British Royal Family for some reason. [B]2. The Taming of the Shrew (1967)[/B] Richard at his Shakespeare best and I love it how he and Elizabeth plays off each other. They are a delight to watch and funny too! [B]3. The Night of the Iguana (1964)[/B] Excellent movie and he plays the tortured priest so well. Love the location too! [B]4. Cleopatra (1963)[/B] The only reason this is not number one on my list is because Richard barely had anything to do in the first half of the movie... But I love, love, love this movie. By far my most favorite of both Richard and Elizabeth's movies...:kiss: [B]5. The Sandpiper (1965)[/B] My guilty pleasure movie that I can just watch over and over again. The scenery is really beautiful and I think the movie says something about women's roles in the 1960s. I love how Elizabeth's character defies the norms of what is expected of her. Then at the end of the day realize she does want "the marriage trap"... [B]6. Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966)[/B] This is the movie that turned me into a Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor fan. It's so fascinating to watch.

[B] Movies that are just below my list: [/B] Becket Look Back In Anger The Robe Alexander The Great Equus Doctor Faustus Sea Wife Brief Encounter The Comedians The Desert Rats Seems like I could easily have made this one a top twenty... ;) [/QUOTE]
