An incredible film
Wow. This is an unforgettable movie. A true masterpiece that everyone should watch. This movie wasn't afraid to tell you how it was and it did exactly that. One of the best Clint Eastwood performances I've ever seen.

"Lanark is widely and justifiably regarded as Gray’s masterpiece. But I love this novel and its protagonist; masturbating, alcoholic, conservative Jock. It shows the dismal outcome of a life that succumbs to fear, but is still somehow an uplifting book."

"It’s just quality at its best. Fantastic writing, an amazing caliber of acting; just beautiful, everything about it. The details of the clothes, the sets — just a masterpiece. Again, I can watch any of the trilogy time and time again. "

"A kinetic masterpiece by Bob Fosse. One of the best-edited films of all time. Roy Scheider deserves more recognition for his work. First saw this in a double feature with Lenny, which every art-house theater programmer should schedule."

"The shot with Dorothy Malone walking down the stairs makes all rock videos ever after resemble forgotten, anemic nuns. With his small masterpiece, Fassbinder shows us the basic tenderness of his heart, this time not hidden behind his cinematic skills."

"If you’re only going to direct one film, make it a masterpiece. (It was also rejected in its own time.) Charles Laughton’s horror movie is so scary that it’s funny. And beautiful and mysterious and utterly unlike any movie ever mad"

Out of the entire Shakespeare canon, I found this to be the most difficult to get through. The Tempest deals with huge themes, like slavery and freedom, heaven and hell, and purgatory. It's a masterpiece, but I had to read it 3 times.

Pixar rarely misses its target and Up is a prime example of the power and narrative genius they retain. The opening minutes of Up is notorious for being the most heartfelt and heartbreaking moments in history, this from a "carroon." A timeless masterpiece
