Although this Stanley Kubrick-directed film was a box office flop, it was eventually recognized as a masterpiece, winning four Academy Awards (including Best Cinematography)."

Sharing the retreat are acerbic widow Mrs. Fisher (Oscar nominee Joan Plowright) and socialite Caroline (Polly Walker).

But like any proper Englishwoman of that era, she must fight her feelings … and it's a losing battle." Follow this link for the free eBook. 5. A Christmas Carol: "Oscar winner George C. Scott stars as penny-pinching miser Ebenezer Scrooge in this critically acclaimed television adaption of Charles Dickens's holiday classic.
