I'm curious ... am I the ONLY person in the world who thinks "The Ruling Class" is a great movie. Admittedly, it is satire done with a broadax instead of a rapier. Admittedly, it aims primarily at an easy target (English nobility). However, it is an incredible piece of black comedy. Peter O'toole is brilliant in it, although I don't normally like him that well (I liked "My Favorite Year". Maybe I'm saying he should do more comedy). The rest of the cast is superb also. When people start discussing "classic" or "N best" movies, I find that most movies I really give high ratings to have other adherents (I'm pleased to note the votes for "Bedazzled", by the way). This is an exception. Once again ... am I the ONLY fan of "The Ruling Class"? Bob McQueer ihnp4!amdahl!rtech!bobm "Dignity has NOTHING to do with Divinity"
