Continuing on, here are some older film offerings worth your time.
The Robe - (1953) This is a TEAR jerker. Yes, it’s a little melodramatic but it’s so lovely that you’ll get lost in it. Jean Simmons is a vision, Richard Burton and Victor Mature are manly yet emotive. AMAZING music and feathery vibrant TechnoColor all add up to a wonderful classic.
Spartacus (1960) – If you haven’t seen this film, I’d like to know why not? Seriously – is it a GOOD reason?
Conan the Barbarian (1982) – Arnold – barely speaking English and scowling sternly (sometimes comically) in menace. Too fun!
Beastmaster (1982) – I don’t know how many times I watched this one on HBO. Sigh – Marc Singer introduced me to the beauty of muscles:
Jason and the Argonauts (1963) – Stop motion fun for the whole family. How often can you say that nowadays?
WARNING – High cheese alert
