Re: Classic Movies
The Lion in Winter
I just watched this again this weekend with my son, (first time he's seen it.) I love this movie. It's one of the few I could watch over and over again.
Peter O'Toole is King Henry II. He releases his queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, (Katherine Hepburn), from her confinement of 10 years for Christmas court with the goal of choosing his successor from their three sons.
<u>Prince John:</u> I thought I'd come and gloat a little.
<u>Eleanor:</u> Mother's tired. Come stick pins tomorrow morning; I'll be more responsive.
<u>Prince John:</u> It's no fun goading anyone tonight.
I really think I'd put this film on my top 10 list for the dialogue and acting.
(I realize you're looking at westerns now, but if you haven't seen this, put it on the list for another time.)
