Cid

Pros: Story, Acting, Direction, Cinematography, Score
Cons: Needs a deluxe DVD treatment!

El Cid (1961) The national hero of Spain, Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, was a real man, born in AD 1043 and died in 1099. In that brief lifetime, Rodrigo came to be known as El Cid (the Lord) for his bravery in combat and fairness to all ...

Pros: Hilarious overacting, bad dialog, cheesy effects; really enjoyable flick
Cons: If you don't like a "good" bad movie, avoid THE MANSTER

THE MANSTER is another low-budget piece of 1950’s trash science fiction cinema that somehow manages to end up being somewhat of a classic in the genre in spite of a dumb story, laughably overacted performances, and not-so-special effects. This 1959 film...

Pros: Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren, Story, Direction, Score

Pros: Colorful, and it hails lasting virtues.
Cons: On the verge of cheesy.

Pros: Just about everything
Cons: None

This is easily in my top five favorite movies, and in my opinion one of the best films about the Middle Ages ever made. Charleton Heston, one of America's best actors, absolutely nails his performance as Roderigo di Bevar, aka El Cid, savior of Spain,...

Pros: Great Script Writing
Cons: A bit slow in getting started and needs just a tad bit more story line. But these are minor details.

Pros: the splendor and acting
Cons: too short

Charlton Heston in one of his sexiest roles as Rodrigo De Bivar gives a small account of how the moors were dreiven out of Spain.
