Cleopatra

Actors:  Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Rex Harrison, Martin Landau, Roddy McDowell
Rating:  8 out of 10, The epic movie that ended epic movies for a long time.  The excess is all up on the screen for this movie that has entered Hollywood lore for so many reasons and on so many levels.  The new blu ray has most of the original footage returned and it is glorious and took me three nights to watch.  Taylor and her breasts are put through the paces by Julius Caesar (very good Rex Harrison) and then Marc Antony (the besotted Burton) and what seemed like a thousand costume changes.  This truly did have a cast of thousands and the sheer magnitude of the crowd scenes are astounding.  The story is old and overdone but this was fun to watch. 
MVP:  Harrison as one of the most historically accurate Julius Caesars
