Immortal Beloved tied for last is not right...

[Jean]

I don't know how I missed this poll. I might have voted for Immortal Beloved, there was at least one good moment there - namely, when he playes the moonlight sonata; then the last twenty or so minutes were really good

Truly a shame that "Immortal Beloved" has been eliminated. It's a great film and the scenes for "Ode to Joy" are remarkable. It's elimination is likely due to the fact that few have seen it. As I recall it didn't get a wide distribution, but maybe some of you folks will give it a shot and it'll have a chance next year.

Short synopsis: The docu-drama of the life of Ludwig Von Beethoven. At it's core it is a love story and the music is well.................................It's Beethoven. Grand performance by Gary Oldman as Ludwig.
