I caught The Ruling Class. Peter O'Toole was amazing.
I really enjoyed the film. But I realize it's due to my views on religion and politics. The length is something else that would keep me from recommending it to my friends.

I just watched the Richest Girl In The World because I found the premise intriguing. The movie itself has only remade only once. I doubt it could be remade in a modern setting because it would be impossible for any woman (or man) of great wealth (think Gates or Zuckerberg) to stay under the radar in this day and age. I do recall a story on one of the syndicated tabloid shows some years ago about a millionaire setting himself up as a working man so that he could find a bride who wasn't an outright gold digger. I'd be curious to know how that turned out. I love both Miriam Hopkins and Joel McCrea, so I started watching but wasn't really pulled in. IMO a better "Gold-Digger" movie is The Lady Eve (1941) with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. Not sure which recent show you are thinking about, but my "gold-digger" filter is the 20 year old daily-driver car. But I have two others, both classics, in the garage. It was either "Inside Edition" or one of the other news tabloid shows that have come and gone over the years.
