Title: A Truly Beautiful, Magical Classic Film
Review: If there was ever a list of the 100 Greatest Fantasy Films of All Time, "Beauty and the Beast" ("La Belle et la Bette") should unarguably be number one. This film, written and directed by French filmmaker Jean Cocteau, is the very definition of the word "fairy tale". It's haunting, breathtaking, beautiful, dreamlike, enchanting, even psychological. And the special effects! I introduced this film to some friends one movie night and they were mesmerized by the Beast's castle. In this age of CGI special effects, one can't help but ask out loud: "how did they do that back in 1946?" But personally that's one question I never want to have answered. A magician never reveals his secrets.
