James Mason was brilliant.  Jeremy Irons ... please.

I thought James Mason was also quite good as Humbert Humbert.

    Robin Hood?
    
    Catherine Earnshaw?
    
    Jane Eyre?
    
    Elizabeth Benet?

Someone                needs to cite some favorite books, movies, music lists                to reboot the p-list.
