Add Absolution to Queue Add Absolution to top of Queue  
Two Catholic boarding school students (Dominic Guard and Dai Bradley) embark upon a carefully calculated campaign to drive their hated headmaster (Richard Burton) insane. The boys launch their scheme by cooking up the most bizarre and depraved of imaginary sins, then recite these infractions in the Confessional. This sadistic little game gets wildly out of hand, resulting in murder. It's a toss-up as to who is the most repulsive character; the headmaster or his two charges. One of a long line of 1970s stinkers barely redeemed by the presence of Richard Burton, Absolution was not released until 1988, long after Burton's death. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1969  
 
In the conclusion of the pivotal ten-part story "The War Games," the Doctor has successfully thwarted the universe-conquering schemes of the War Lord (Philip Madoc). In doing so, however, he has violated his own ethics, and now finds himself hunted down by his own race, the Time Lords. Captured, the Doctor is subjected to a trial, the outcome of which will profoundly alter not only his own existence, but also the lives of his traveling companions Jamie and Zoe. It can be safely stated that every Doctor Who fan in good standing already knows how this particular story ended. For the benefit of the uninitiated, we will observe only that "The War Games, Episode 10," written by Malcolm Hulke and Terrance Dicks, was originally telecast on June 21, 1969 as the final episode of Doctor Who's sixth season, and represented the series swan song for regulars Patrick Troughton (the Doctor), Frazer Hines (Jamie), and Wendy Padbury (Zoe). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add Othello to Queue Add Othello to top of Queue  
The 1965 Othello is literally a photographed stage play: a filmed record of the National Theatre Production of 1964, as staged by John Dexter and starring Laurence Olivier. As the easily led, fatally jealous Moor of Venice, Olivier wears thick black-faced makeup and speaks in an uncharacteristically deep, bellow-like voice. Some considered his portrayal of Othello to be an unflattering stereotype; others regard Olivier's interpretation as one of the finest Shakespearean performances ever captured on film. Less flamboyant, but no less effective, are Frank Finlay as Iago, Maggie Smith as Desdemona, Derek Jacobi as Cassio, and Joyce Redman as Emilia. Oscar nominations went to Olivier, Finlay, Smith, and Redman. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
