Amadeus
Directed by Miloš Forman and adapted by Peter Shaffer from his own stage play, Amadeus is one of the most unlikely box office hits in Hollywood history. The story of the fraught relationship between Mozart and Italian composer Antonio Salieri features two powerhouse performances from Tom Hulce as Mozart and F. Murray Abraham as Salieri who received an Oscar for Best Actor. The picture took home a score of other Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
