Cleopatra is one of the most controversial women ever, and no one better to portray her than the gorgeous Liz Taylor. It's definitely a very grand movie, and Liz made it to the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of outfit changes in a movie. I'd watch it just for that.

Great film even though I can rarely make it through it anymore - I'm kind of in an anti-epic phase. Liz was the first actress to request a $1,000,000 salary for making this film. Nobody thought they would pay it, but they did, even though the film went on to become one of the studio's biggest financial disasters.

An amazing film made in the infancy of cinematography. I has absolutely wonderful special effects. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were outstanding. Young adult movie goers should see this one to get a good understanding of how movies have progressed. When it comes to special effects, it was one of those movies that was the equivalent of "Star Wars" in its day.
