Amadeus' Life Makes for the Best Movie

Who would have thought that a story about a composer from the 1700s could be so good? Amadeus is funny, dramatic and exciting. Both Tom Hulce (Mozart) and F. Murry Abraham (Salieri) gave performances of a lifetime. Both were nominated for Best Actor and Murry won (too bad they both couldn't win -- they both deserved to). The movie won a total of 8 Oscars, including Best Picture.
This story, supposedly based on Motzart's actual life, but told from the perspective on Court Composer Salieri, Motzart's mortal enemy, is full of humor, politics, corruption, intrigue and revenge. This show has it all (even if you're not a fan of classical music).
Seen it dozens of times and love it!
