Wolf (story) External Links: External Links: Wikipedia Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Language: English Country: USA Plot: Khalil is an Arab diplomat who wants to not only make peace with Israel, but admit the Jewish state as a member of OPEC. This instantly makes him a target for a series of ingeniously conceived assassination attempts, most of which he foils with the aid of his friend Hamid and his girlfriend Nicole. But can he trust even them? Rotten Tomatoes: Audiences loved him as a Berber sheik in the historical saga The Wind and the Lion, so who better to play a Saudi Arabian minister of state who wants to make peace with Israel during the Arab oil embargo of 1976 than Sean Connery? Connery plays Khalil Abdull-Muhsen, a peace-mongering diplomat who wants to sign a mutual assistance pact with Israel and sell Saudi oil to needy nations at cost. The object of his pipe-dream plan is to free those needy nations from the East-West conflict. Unfortunately, the world is not ready for such starry-eyed idealism, and before you can say 'Tiger in your tank,' Khalil finds himself the victim of choice for a network of Arab terrorist groups. The terrorists clearly have the pick of the litter at the casting office, for Khalil finds himself pursued by the frisky and beautiful Bryn Mawr graduate and cool-as-a-cucumber terrorist Nicole Scott (Cornelia Sharpe). 1 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |  84% (2) The Phantom of Liberty 104 min R [Comedy] [Luis Buñuel] [27 Oct 1974]Ratings & Reviews: IMDb Reviews: 80%, Rotten Tomatoes: 89%, External Reviews Awards: 2 wins. Actors: Adolfo Celi, Adriana Asti, Jean-Claude Brialy, Julien Bertheau, Michel Piccoli Writer: Luis Buñuel (scenario), Jean-Claude Carrière External Links: External Links: Wikipedia Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Language: French Country: France Plot: This surrealist film consists of a series of only vaguely related episodes, most famously the dinner party scene in which people sit on lavatories round a dinner table, occasionally retiring to a small room to eat. Rotten Tomatoes: The Phantom of Liberty is the Luis Buñuel film in which eating is presented as a private function, while going to the toilet is a social event. It is also the film wherein a peddler of 'filthy French postcards' deals only in harmless scenic pictures. It is also the film in which an indiscriminate sniper is lauded as a hero. With all this going on, we should not be surprised that a little girl, who remains in full view of the audience throughout, is regarded as a missing child. Imagine the fun 20th Century-Fox had back in 1974 when trying to come up with an advertising 'handle' for the doggedly indescribable Phantom of Liberty. They certainly could not exploit the aforementioned toilet scene, nor the sequence in which a group of monks use their religious medallions as poker chips. 2 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |
 67% (1) Hitler: The Last Ten Days 108 min PG [Biography, Drama, History] [Ennio De Concini] [09 May 1973]Ratings & Reviews: IMDb Reviews: 67%, External Reviews Awards: N/A Actors: Adolfo Celi, Alec Guinness, Diane Cilento, Simon Ward Writer: Ivan Moffat (english screenplay adaptation), Gerhardt Boldt (book), Ennio De Concini (screenplay), Maria Pia Fusco (screenplay), Wolfgang Reinhardt (screenplay) External Links: External Links: Wikipedia Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Language: English Country: UK, Italy Plot: A dramatization based on eye witness accounts of Hitler's final days in an underground bunker, his military henchmen, and his stormy relationship with Eva Braun. Rotten Tomatoes: Alec Guinness plays against stereotype, imbuing his Adolf Hitler with an introverted solemnity in Ennio De Concini's Hitler: The Last Ten Days. Set almost entirely inside Hitler's Berlin bunker, the film chronicles the dying days of the Third Reich as the Allied armies close in on Berlin. Guinness's Hitler is an enclosed depressive who sinks slowly into madness, depression, and ultimately suicide as his 1,000-Year Reich collapses around him. 3 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |  74% (1) Brancaleone at the Crusades 116 min N/A [Adventure, History] [Mario Monicelli] [24 Dec 1970]Ratings & Reviews: IMDb Reviews: 74%, External Reviews Awards: 2 wins & 2 nominations.

He shares an extravagant underground lair (and a giant bed of money) with his curvaceous, superficial girlfriend...who uses her awesome powers of wig-wearing to help Diabolik kill innocent people and steal billions from the government. Nonetheless, Diabolik is the 'hero' of the film because he must face off against bumbling cops and revenge-seeking mafiosos. Rotten Tomatoes: Diabolik (John Phillip Law) is the criminal mastermind who has just pulled off a huge heist. He spends most of his free time with his girlfriend, Eva (Marisa Mell), in fond embrace. The police minister (Terry-Thomas) is approached by Valmont (Adolfo Celi), a master criminal who proposes to use his underworld connections to catch Diabolik for the police. In between their gratuitous lovemaking, he and the exotic Eva are chased by police and the mob in this plodding crime drama. 6 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |

Schwartz (play), Burt Cole (novel) External Links: External Links: Wikipedia Rotten Tomatoes IMDb Language: English Country: UK, USA Plot: Unsuccessful singing bullfighter Juan arrives in Barcelona to try his luck in a big town. He finally persuades a devious local impresario to book him, but only on the condition that Juan first manages to spend an evening with Olimpia, a 'shrewd merciless beauty' who seems effortlessly to collect apartments and Maserati sports cars while leaving a trail of broken hearts behind her. Juan approaches the challenge by pretending to her he is an emissary for a rich count. Rotten Tomatoes: Peter Sellers stars, as the tagline states, 'as that cunning matador who flees from the bulls so that he may chase the chicks!' Juan Bautista (Peter Sellers) is an inept matador who wants to be a singer. Francisco Carbonell (Adolfo Celi), the owner of a local Barcelona night spot, offers Juan a singing contract for a week --the only stipulation being that he has three days to seduce Olimpia Segura (Britt Ekland), the 'most desirable woman in Barcelona.' The bumbling matador tries a series of half-baked lovemaking techniques that, amazingly, get Olimpia to come around. But when Olimpia discovers that Juan wanted to seduce her merely to get a singing job, Juan finds that avoiding charging bulls is a much safer vocation than dealing with an irate Olimpia. 8 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |

They have been taken by the evil SPECTRE organization. The world is held hostage and Bond heads to Nassau. Here, he meets the beautiful Domino and is forced into a thrilling confrontation with SPECTRE agent Emilio Largo, on board his boat, the Disco Volante. Will 007 prevent the killing of millions of innocent victims? Rotten Tomatoes: Thunderball finds James Bond matching wits with the sinister espionage organization S.P.E.C.T.R.E, (which stands for Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion). This time, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. hijacks a NATO nuclear bomber, hiding the bombs under the ocean depths and threatening to detonate the weapons unless a ransom of 100,000,000 pounds is paid. The mastermind behind this scheme is international business executive Emilio Largo (Adolfo Celi), who maintains a pool full of sharks for the purpose of eliminating enemies and those henchmen who fail to come up to standard. Dispatched to the Bahamas, lucky Mr. Bond enjoys the attentions of three nubile ladies: Largo's mistress Domino Derval (Claudine Auger), British spy Paula Caplan (Martine Beswick, previously seen as a gypsy girl in the 1962 Bond epic From Russia With Love) and enemy agent Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi). 9 / 9 Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Copy URL |
