The Best-Made Movie Of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2006)

Doctor Zhivago is obviously one of the greatest films of all time. David Lean does a masterful job as director in arguably his greatest film. He brings with him Alec Guiness and Maurice Jarre, who had appeared in several different films with him before. Jarre's score in the film is, with the exception of Star Wars, the greatest ever. Along with Guiness as the actors were Omar Sharif and Julie Christy, both in perhaps their best movies. As supporting actors Tom Courtenay, Rod Steiger, Ralph Richardson, Klaus Kinski, and others did good jobs as well, especially Kinski, who was excellent. As supporting actresses Geraldine Chaplin, Rita Tusingham, and others also have commendable performances. Every minute of the 197 minute film is worthy of a 9 at least. About a 9.5 I'd give it, because it's too hard to decide between 9 or 10. This is a superb film and I recommend it to everyone in the world over 10 years of age. I could go on describing for a long time, but I hope that I have made my point clear-that Doctor Zhivago is the best-made film ever and one of the greatest as well.
