    Not great, not rubbish

    New to the Dr Zhivaho story, I wasn't 'expecting' anything, and I feel that's just what I got. In this remake you have loads of recognised actors, all with Russian accents that come and go, and a TV series feel that robs all the scenes of any feeling of reality. First world War scenes with no grit or pain, love scenes and revolution with no heart, just a story being told that keeps you interested only if you feel you've wasted enough of your time to see it to the end. In my personal opinion, get the original to see what all the fuss was about.

In total the Python's 1975 classic polled a quarter of the vote, beating more recent films like Love Actually, and box office hits like Four Weddings and a Funeral. There was more success for Cleese and co. with The Life Of Brian coming in seventh. Controversial ultra-violence fest A Clockwork Orange came Read more
