Movies starring Elizabeth Taylor

Lassie Come Home (1943)

89 mins     Adventure , Drama, Family      

There have been many movies over the years which focus on man's best friend, some more notable than others but very few are a patch on the Lassie movies, in particular the first of them "Lassie Come Home" from 1943. Adapted f...

Courage of Lassie (1946)

92 mins     Adventure , Drama, Family      

Out of all the "Lassie" movies both new and old "Courage of Lassie" is my least favourite and it's not just down to the fact that whilst using Lassie in the title doesn't actually feature the character or any of those charact...

Little Women (1949)

122 mins     Drama, Family, Romance      

This 1949 version of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" is only the third version I have seen and I say only because this was the 8th adaptation and there have been others since. One of those more recent adaptations was the 1...

Father of the Bride (1950)

92 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I have always had a soft spot for the 1991 version of "Father of the Bride" and when I first saw it I had no idea that it was a remake. Since then I have watched the original "Father of the Bride" a couple of times, once when...

A Place in the Sun (1951)

117 mins     Drama, Romance      

"A Place in the Sun" is it has to be said an impressive movie with an intelligent story, brilliant performances from Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters and despite it's age is still remarkably engrossing. ...

Father's Little Dividend (1951)

82 mins     Comedy, Romance      

So "Father's Little Dividend" the sequel to the original "Father of the Bride" and whilst we have a new storyline it is actually pretty much a rerun of the first movie with the focus on Stanley Banks having to come to terms w...

Ivanhoe (1952)

106 mins     Adventure , Drama      

As a child I was introduced to the story of Ivanhoe at the same time I was introduced to Robin Hood, Robin Hood won out for me and in my eyes it won out for Hollywood as whilst there have been a few Ivanhoe movies there have ...

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

108 mins     Drama      

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is one of a few movies which makes me wish I had been born earlier so that I could have seen it on the big screen when it originally came out. The reason for this is that I am sure it came across as ed...

Cleopatra (1963)

192 mins     Biography, Drama      

At 192 minutes a movie needs to succeed at every level; be it the acting, the story, the production, everything has to be perfect as if one thing is wrong it can spell disaster. Whilst I would never say "Cleopatra" is a disas...

That's Entertainment! (1974)

135 mins     Musical      

I've always had a thing for musicals and to be honest I didn't know why as if someone took me to the theatre to watch a show I wouldn't be bothered about it and growing up musicals were not what the family watched on the box....

Victory at Entebbe (1976)

119 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

As a 3 year old in 1976 it is little surprise that I had no knowledge of the events on the 4th July at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. But it appears that a terrorist situation involving he Popular Front for the Liberation of Pale...

The Flintstones (1994)

91 mins     Comedy, Family      

I reckon that turning a much loved cartoon into a live action movie must be one of the hardest jobs going. Take "The Flintstones" turning a 30 minute TV show into something which lasts 90 minutes means trying to either cram i...

These Old Broads (2001)

89 mins     Comedy, TV Movie      

On paper "These Old Broads" sounds perfect with Shirley MacLaine, Debbie Reynolds and Joan Collins leading the way as aging movie stars who thanks to their manipulative agent played by Elizabeth Taylor reunite for a TV specia...
