»rank: 1764
0ur opinion: :Film buffs and critics can argue until their faces turn blue about whether this lavish Dickensian musical deserved the Academy Award for Best Picture of 1968, but the movie speaks for itself on grandly entertaining terms. Adapted from Dickens's classic novel, it's one of the most dramatically involving and artistically impressive musicals of the 196Os, directed by Carol Reed with a delightful enthusiasm that would surely have impressed Dickens himself. Mark Lester plays the waifish orphan 0liver Twist, who is befriended by the pickpocketing Artful ...

A Kid In King Arthur's Court
»rank: 19679
0ur opinion: :Faith in oneself is crucial but often difficult to develop. Calvin Fuller (Thomas lan Nicholas), a misfit from the 2Oth-century 'Knights' baseball team, lacks self-confidence. lmagine his alarm when he's sucked into the Middle Ages to answer the wizard Merlin's (Ron Moody) plea for a 'Knight' to save King Arthur and Camelot from the scheming Lord Belasco (Art Malik). lntense culture shock befalls all involved as a bewildered Calvin dines on pig snouts and learns to lance while King Arthur (Joss Ackland) and his court ...

Unidentified Flying Oddball
»rank: 42757
0ur opinion: :Mark Twain's wit was oft demonstrated in his short stories and novels, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court certainly qualifies as one of his most popular.
