……love this film to bits, even since I first saw it on the big screen in 1968! The music is monumental! The acting is unsurpassed, in every way. My fave scene, is when they’re at the pig pen, & P Geoffrey says his ‘I know’ speech. I still crack-up every time I hear it! There’re so MANY great script snippets’ in it………

I am 73 years old. I first saw this movie in 1968 when I was 17. I can still remember the impact that it had on me. Extraordinary film, it was anchored by two true greats of the cinema; but every performance - whether of the old guard like Nigel Stock or the amazing crop of new actors it introduced - Hopkins, Dalton, Castle, Terry - rose to the heights required to match them.

Richard was only as skanky as his younger brother. I remember the younger better as the same actor who played King Arthur in Excalibur

Every sentence of this story is biting. A masterpiece.

1st line blues. Come for me! (first lines] Henry II: [yelling to his sword fight opponent] Come for me!

The melian dialogue summarized: "Bro surrender cuz ure cooked"

His first film and he's opposite Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn. I mean, Jeezus....

Once in a while, a film is made that is absolutely flawless on every level, from the script, to the dialogue, to the actors and the photography. "The Lion In Winter" is one such film. The pairing of O'Toole and Hepburn as King Henry The Second and Elinor of Aquitaine was a stroke of genius. Every single scene is electrifying. It is my favourite film and I usually watch it at least twice a year. I honestly do not think that a film of this calibre could be made today. It is superb.

“I could peel you like a grape and god himself would call it justice!” “There will be pork in the treetops come morning!”

What is this absolute rubbish 😂 how awful

I’d love to know more about how this was developed

39:42

I remember watching this, there was a bit where Frankie, Bruce and Tommy dressed as The Supremes and mimed to 'Baby Love', though I guess that part of the show hasn't survived.

It's kind of weird that O'Toole was only 5 years older than Hopkins

❤❤❤❤❤

As good as Cliff Robertson was as Charly I believe this Oscar should have been given to O'Toole. What a script! Well deserving of an Oscar!

I am an old guy........my three kids are in their 50's. We each, seperately, watch this movie at ltast 3 or 4 times a year. EVERY Englishe speaker has a DUTY to see it often, to maintain respect for and and continuation of the spread of the tongue.

🇬🇷🇪🇺☦👋🙏

I still watch this movie….and also “Becket, ” over and over again! Amazing movies!

Nobody would pee on me if I was on fire. "Let us strike a flint and see" Superb

Thanks

How exciting to find this, as 'filidorable' says, a collectively-British acting master-class, from the glory days of the RSC and NT. Wonderful to see Norman Rodway, Bob Peck, Oliver Ford Davies, Stephen Moore, Ben Kingsley, but everyone is excellent. Gripping and educational.

Love the hot jazz!

Anthony Hopkins as Richard the Lionheart definitely brought the Shakespearean spirit to the screen along with his co-actors. I don't think anyone was miscast in this film at all, it's one of those rare ones with perfect acting. Richard clearly wants to be formidable and outstanding as Henry is, but he's also struggling and HATES that he's struggling.

Thank you of course for this-very nice it is too. Test Card F of old with BBC1 overlay of what was then BBC2 COLOUR also at the time. 10 out of 10 really of course too. Well done!

This movie, the best acting I’ve ever seen! One of the best scenes is when King Henry II Plantagenet (Peter O’Toole) and Eleanor of Aquitaine (Katherine Hepburn) with all of their scheming and political posturing have a particularly brutal argument and after this gut wrenching fight she says, “What family doesn’t have their difficulties?” Brilliant! It was such an understatement, it was comical. The writing was superb. This couple are locked into a power struggle and butcher each other with their tongues, stabbing at each other’s most vulnerable places with such precision that you’d think they actually used swords! It leaves them wounded, bleeding and exhausted and yet their excruciating pain comes from their constant ability to adore each other and yet don’t know how to give up their power to just love. It’s all the destructive things that couples shouldn’t do if they want to save their marriage but in a movie!

Anthony Hopkins is one of the few heirs of that golden age of actors, that is worthy of his inheritance. A class act, excellent actor, down to earth, a treasure. Lion in Winter was his debut and boy what a debut! To be pitted against titans like Hepburn and O'Toole, while starting out with other extremely good actors like John Castle and Timothy Dalton. Great film, pure entertainment carried by it's wonderful cast and score.

Anthony Hopkins has such a lovely sweet smile, for a cannibal🤭

WHERE can I find this original movie? I dom't want the remake--I want to watch the original!!

Interesting that this is a first for Hopkins and Dalton who went on to long and successful careers. How is it Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting who did superb jobs at much younger ages disappeared?

Peter O'Toole is the greatest actor of the 20th century and probably of this century as well. I'm a bit surprised he doesn't mention Dalton. He was mesmerizing.

A very special film - to be sure! A very special man who shines above the rest!

the good & best old film👍

Exceptional film. Everyone fantastic. I own it. Please, see it. He was very good. Sad.

Ben Kingsley!

This was Game of Thrones before Game of Thrones and before it sucked.

What I like is that Sir Anthony almost undoubtedly had the best possible debut screen colleagues, and had that 'record' for years. Until Jodie Whittaker made her film debut in Venus, alongside Vanessa Redgrave, Leslie Phillips (RIP), Richard Griffiths (RIP), and none other than....Peter O'Toole (RIP)! That's not to forget Jodie's first major stage engagement was as part of Sir Mark Rylance's company at the RSC. All respect to Sir Anthony, who's obviously a better actor and far more legendary, but you can't get a better start in any art, craft, or trade than the amount of experience Jodie got to work with and learn from!

Wonderful actor fof md i love him

Somehow all these events and constellations of powers from 429 BC sounds so familiar in 2022 AD.

Damn, I love that quote "I'm a constant soldier a sometime & I will be King".

The best part of the movie is the carousellic conversation between Alcibiades and Socrates.

Great movie- its been a while since i’ve seen it- this is the royal family that put the “fun” in dysfunctional 😂

its SR 👈💪

Buster Bloodvessel!

I love the film, and I love this interview. This is one of the best films I have ever seen. It has all the qualities of a great film.

wonderfull

Well.... given current events, this seems timely.

This is one of my favorite movies. Almost anything with Katherine Hepburn is a favorite. But this was a stellar cast.

I'm going to say this here and anywhere else i can, the lion in winter is hands down one of THE best historical dramatic movies ever made.There,i can sleep tonight.
