Top 10 Richard Burton Movies of All Time

In this video, we will rank and explore Richard Burton's 10 greatest movies. Often called the natural successor to Sir Lawrence Olivier, Richard Burton built up quite a reputation throughout his career for being one of the finest actors alive. And that’s not a description which was unwarranted either. No, he truly was as great as his reputation suggests, with his numerous classic performances proving this. It didn’t matter if it was on stage or screen, he never failed to deliver. And this all makes him a true legend of the craft, one who will never be forgotten no matter how much time passes.

Really, a full list of his iconic performances would take all day to recite. But even mentioning a few of them gives you an idea of his talents. We’re talking about My Cousin Rachel, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Cleopatra, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The latter two of which saw him star alongside his wife Elizabeth Taylor, and which wowed audiences when they were first released in 1963 and 1966.

In fact, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? would see Richard Burton get a Best Actor nomination at the 1966 Academy Awards. But it wasn’t just the movies where he shone on screen. No, he’d occasionally appear on television too, usually in one off TV specials like Divorce His, Divorce Hers, Mooch Goes to Hollywood, or A Subject of Scandal and Concern. That said, he remains perhaps most famous for his Shakespearean stage roles where he tackled the bard in the likes of Henry V, The Tempest, Hamlet, and Othello.
