Just to get off Oscars for a sec…
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The 1964 historical epic, BECKET, starring Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton, is being re-released in theaters (Feb 9 at Landmark’s Midtown Art in Atl.), Shortly thereafter it comes out on DVD (it’s been around on VHS for years) The movie is about Henry II and his best friend, Thomas Becket, whom he made archbishop, hoping to thereby control England’s clergy and the Church. Things got messy. I’m wondering…
1) Has anyone seen BECKET?? If so, any comments, memories?
2) Fess up…how many of you rent the movie instead of reading the book/play for classroom assignments?
3)What titles would you like to see on DVD that currently aren’t? And why?
