Leave your thoughts about The Sheik.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's one of those films that should be seen by film buffs and those interested in films as history. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe acting could not be worse than the story, but it is bad enough. Valentino is revealed as a player without resource. |
| Stream on DemandSean AxmakerThe film, directed by George Melford, has it both ways as it plays on the western fantasies of exoticism and romanticizes sexual slavery, but presents the Sheik as something of a prankster who treats the whole thing as a joke ... |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeLandmark film that was never all that hot with a solution so jaw-droppingly racist that it's hard to believe. |
| User ReviewClare WThis movie started my obsession with silent films - and with Rudolph Valentino, the first silver screen sex symbol. This is to date the BEST silent I have ever seen. Well worth the dainty little music with it. |
| User ReviewRich SI love this movie! So fun, daring, provocative! Well made, well acted and Valentino really does smolder well on screen! Just a great movie and a true silent classic! |
| User ReviewAndrea Bennett aka ChippyNo matter how long Rudy has been gone, The Sheik and Son of the Sheik still make him one of the hottest actors in hollywood. |
| User ReviewJennifer MThe silent film to get you addicted to the god of the 1920's. Rudolph Valentino is absolutely the hottest guy to grace the screen! |
| User ReviewSteve SI love this movie! So fun, daring, provocative! Well made, well acted and Valentino really does smolder well on screen! Just a great movie and a true silent classic! |
| User ReviewKat AValentino is soooo hot...every time I watch this movie (and I have seen it many, many times) it makes me want to get abducted by a sexy sheik! Oh, and the book it's based on is very good as well. |
