Movie Trailer: Cleopatra
The biggest, loudest, gaudiest and more decadent of all Hollywood films. Famous for being the movie that nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox, this epic of all epics that in it's longest released for is four hours long is an ode to excess. With the swooning Elizabeth Taylor and boozy Richard Burton at the front this movie hasn't dated well. In the end, this movie is a bloated spectacle of remarkable scale which means that it is a curiosity. You can try to watch it if you dare but chances are you'll never make it the full four hours.

Yeah, I said four hours.

Don't feel like suffering for that long? Try out the trailer below, it will give you a glimpse of the grandiose film without having to sit through Burton slurring his lines.
