A Man for All Seasons (1966)

February 13

A man of principle. A man who knows what is right and stands by that no matter the hardships. Paul Scofield plays this man, Sir Thomas More during King Henry VIII's reign as King of England during the 1500's. Paul puts on one of the top 10 greatest performances on the screen of all time. The sanction of the victim is what Thomas More is. He is a good man willingly suffering at the hands of evil men for their sins. Though this is not a great quality, it was hardly a choice because of how power was handled in the monarchy ruling days of England. Great, superbly fantastic writing and screenplay. Excellent acting from everyone. This is one of the all time great movies, a must see for any fan of film.
