"To these eyes, it’s become increasingly apparent that this is a major twenty-first-century masterpiece. No film that I can think of more achingly evokes the melancholy march of time."

Some call it a masterpiece of the ages, others see it as life imitating art as Coppola mirrored Brando's maniacal villain as he took full control over the production against the studio

"A masterpiece. The journey of Summer Phoenix, a numb young woman who only feels her emotions on stage, inspired me a great deal for Laura Barlow, Natalie Portman’s character in the film."

"In this gorgeous, lyrical novel, the writer Stephen Crane dictates from his death bed the story of a young rent boy and his relationship with an older, married man. An American masterpiece."

A quiet masterpiece
This was Hitchcock's more subtle films, although it was a flop at the time, I think it's still a quiet masterpiece. It's claustrophobic watching James Stewart follow around an enigmatic woman, becoming obsessed with an image of her, only to realise he's chasing an illusion. The twist at the end is pretty brilliant leaving the viewer slightly spellbound by what happened. While it may not be as harrowing as Psycho, it's still a treat to watch.

A Carpenter Masterpiece
With an excellent eerie score, chilling suspenseful tone, realistic grounded acting, unforgettable quotable dialog, and genius inventive camera work. John Carpenter's classic slasher about a boogeyman possessed escaped inmate stalking babysitters on All Hallows Eve has been a huge inspiration for slasher films in generally. Not mention it spawned 7 sequels, a remake with a sequel, and a reboot. But after all these years John Carpenter's original Halloween still stands tall above the rest. A masterpiece!
