How many theatrical films did Elizabeth Taylor star in with her husband Richard Burton?

Elizabeth Taylor and her husband Richard Burton starred in 10 theatrical films. The films are: "V.I.P.s" (1963), "Cleopatra" (1963), "The Sandpiper" (1965), "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), "The Taming of the Shrew" (1967), "Doctor Faustus" (1967), "The Comedians" (1967), "Boom!" (1968), "Under Milk Wood" (1972), and "Hammersmith is Out" (1972). They made these films together over the course of their courtship and two tempestuous marriages.

What is very notable about the couple's movies is that the London-born Taylor (1932-2011) and Welsh-born Burton (1923-84) co-starred in a wide variety of films, which resulted in film quality being outstanding or shabby or something in between, at least according to critics.

In a definitive book about the couple (Liz and Dick), "Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century", Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger document the couple’s torrid beginnings and their extravagant life as “doomed nomads”, drinking their way through three continents, charming and challenging everyone they met—especially each other. "The way they really lived each day helped them with the characters they portrayed in each of their films."

“When you are in love and lust like that,” Taylor would say in 1973, “you just grab it with both hands and ride out the storm.” Ride it out they did, through years of excess, turmoil, scandal, and bottles and bottles of booze. Their movies greatly reflect this.
