Some heavyweights in the cast.... perhaps a classic movie by now ?

There is actually a thread for this movie already in the movies section. Most comments I've read about it here are from people who feel it wasn't quite accurate enough, or just didn't like it for whatever reason. However, there are people who really like the movie here (I'm one of them, I really love the movie, although I do realize that it is not entirely accurate and has its flaws) if you want to discuss the movie you might want to try that thread, or if its kinda dead or whatever you might want to start a new one in the movie's section.

Question and inquires about movies goes in the "films and Tv  shows about Romanovs..." section ;-)
