The reviewer does talk of "some of the best and most famous films of the 60s and 70s (Becket, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? [Burton]; A Man Called Horse, Camelot [Harris]; Lawrence of Arabia, What's New Pussycat [O'Toole]; Women in Love, Tommy [Reed])."
Becket? Who's afraid... (destroying a good play), A man called horse, Camelot, Pussycat. Are these good films? Not in my opinion.
Favourite Burton films: Equus, The Medusa Touch, 1984
Harris: Patriot Games, Unforgiven, The Snow Goose -tv- incredibly popular in Britain at the time)
O'Toole: I agree with Lawrence of Arabia. Nothing else.
Reed: agreed plus The Devils etc. Best non Ken films- Gladiator (don't like the film but like Reed), The Brood
