And tell me what you think after you do!<br /><br />Re: other Taylor movies: "Giant" is REALLY good; that stark, gothic Victorian house right in the middle of nowhere is SUCH. AN ICONIC. MOMENT. in that movie and Elizabeth Taylor never looked so breathtaking. I'm a huge Rock Hudson fan, too, so I couldn't help but love it. I like her in Suddenly, Last Summer (holding her own against Katharine Hepburn is no little feat!) and of course Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...but honestly, I'll watch anything a star I like is in (which would explain why I've seen "The Sandpipers" [AWFUL] and "Boom!" [so awful it comes back around to being good). She was one in a million!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-86898064315465578272014-04-24T18:22:13.374-05:002014-04-24T18:22:13.374-05:00Giant really is an amazing film.

I really wanted to like <i>Cleopatra</i>, but it's pretty disappointing.<br /><br />I generally shy away from biopics but I do love Helena Bonham Carter (and Dominic West), so I may need to check this out. Didn't even know it existed!Lauren Hairstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037717621464819611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-20538813093148296492014-04-14T20:13:57.746-05:002014-04-14T20:13:57.746-05:00My favorite Elizabeth Taylor film, hands down, is ...My favorite Elizabeth Taylor film, hands down, is "Giant." It's epic in every sense of the word, and extremely progressive for its time.<br /><br />I would also have problems watching an Elizabeth Taylor biopic for the same reasons you stated. But I think it might be easier for me to believe a biopic of her later life than her earlier life.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405664149403589996noreply@blogger.com
