The king quotes chapter and verse numbers from Leviticus; More replies with chapter and verse numbers from Deuteronomy. There was no verse numbering in English Bibles at the time. The Geneva Bible (1560) was the first English Bible with chapter and verse numbering. (more)

Quotes:
Sir Thomas More: I am commanded by the king to be brief, and since I am the king's obedient subject, brief I will be. I die His Majesty's good servant, but God's first.
Sir Thomas More: [to executioner, handing him his wages]
Sir Thomas More: I forgive you, right readily. Be not afraid of your office: you send me to God.
Archbishop Cranmer: You're very sure of that, Sir Thomas?
Sir Thomas More: He will not refuse one who is so blithe to go to Him.

A Protest, 14 October 2004
Author: Curtis Mark Stratmeyer ([email protected]) from Bellevue, Washington

It is a travesty that this film is not in the top 250. Something is very very wrong with rating system that says The Big Lebowski is a better film.

I can't add anything to what has already been said about A Man for All Seasons. Unquestionably one of the greatest films of all time, and stands the test of time. It will be revered as a great film 100 years from now. Will Lebowski? Doubt it. Winner of nearly every award it was nominated for. Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, etc. One of the few movies that makes my whole being vibrate when I watch it. I am moved to tears in almost every scene because the scene is executed so perfectly.

Please IMDb, this must give you pause. Any system that does not put this film in the top 100 borders on insanity or uselessness.
