Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? In addition to being one of my favorite films, it is also one of the best-acted, most well-written I've ever seen. The entire cast (which is only four people, considering the film is based on a play) is tremendous, particularly Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in (arguably) career-best performances. A+

Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? A fantastic showcase of acting from the four involved...it's a daring, wonderfully written and directed film. This proves why Nichols is one of greatest living directors.

Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? One of the best adaptations ever put on film. One of the best acted. And of the best films ever made, period. A must see for any film fan.

Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The play is also a good read, snack (it's the exact same as the film). I read it for a summer assignment in AP Lit when I was in high school. I was so impressed that I wrote this amazing essay on it because I had so much to say about the play and its implications. One of the most memorable works I've ever read.

Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? ^ for a good damn reason, for you made remember the time I saw it when I rented it from the public Library.
I paid nothing to see it and it was marvelous all of it.

Re: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Instant inclusion to my top 10-20 all time. A lot of credit goes to the playwright, but I've also hardly seen any better performances than in this. Burton is the finest - How he didn't win Best Actor is one of the biggest academy travesties. It's the best male performance I've seen.
