Jane Eyre and William Hurt
+ Jane Eyer
I have to admit that I have been a Mr. Rochester/Jane Eyre fan since I was a teenager. I have read the book for school and many times over since then and still go back to it. When I found William Hurt playing Mr. Rochester, that just added all the spice I needed to enjoy this lovely book/movie.

Sony Pictures, 2007
Superb!
+ Best Film made from a novel ever!
+ DVD
If you're a vampire legend fan this is a must see. With an all star cast, sets, music, direction and costumes to boot, this is about a close as you're going to get to the real tale of the Prince of Darkness.
Gary Oldman is outstanding as the old and young Vlad Tepes III (Dracula) and Sir Anthony ...

The Buccaneers
Carla Gugino, Alison Elliott
BBC Warner, 2006
My FAVORITE!
+ A great Masterpiece series
I have watched this movie countless times since it was released on video. It remains my all-time favorite and I now own it on DVD as well. A great addition to the library of any lover of period costume drama. I only wish it was longer.

Daisy Miller
Cybill Shepherd, Barry Brown
Paramount, 2003
Another 4 Plus 1 for Courage
+ Daisy Miller is a masterpiece.
+ A Good Film but Not a Masterpiece
This film is remarkable. It is not James, however close to the original plot it may dance. I don't believe with others that this film is a masterpiece. Bogdanovich overlays Henry James with Oscar Wilde. It doesn't work perfectly, but it gives you a variation on a theme, especially intriguing with ...

Victoria & Albert
Victoria Hamilton, Jonathan Firth
A&E Home Video, 2001
Most Amusing
+ Fairy tale Love Story you want to believe.
+ A WONDERFUL LOVE STORY!
I liked it! I saw it on A&E and decided to buy it. It is a double disc set and watching it is a pleasure. It is not overly deep into the history as such but mainly tells of the deep and profound love between Victoria and Albert. A good watch. Period movie lovers should be pleased.Check it out.
