‘Titus Andronicus’ with Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming (video links)

Here are links to videos of Julie Taymor’s magnificently stylized rendition of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus with Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Lange, Alan Cumming, et al. Titus is of course Shakespeare’s first play and he goes over the top presumably to make sure it’s not lacking in drama (or anything else for that matter).

Amazing film…one of my all time favorites!

By the way, video embedding was disabled at Youtube so below are only the video links. Furthermore, Video #8 was rumored to have been removed from Youtube at the request of Stanford Univ (for whatever reason). The text of missing Video #8 is presented below the video links.

‘Executive Suite’ – Final Scene (video) – 1954 Film directed by Robert Wise

As a retired investment banker who has seen many companies wrestle internally to do the right thing, to choose the right leaders, to keep the right dreams alive, I would suggest that this film, Executive Suite, captures the very best of those struggles.

To my way of thinking, this film captures what America is losing under Obama…and what can be gained by returning to what made America great!

Here is the final scene of that film.

Nine minutes of one of the finest scenes in American film history and in American story telling…
