Psychological Photo's
One Hour Photo- is a underrated movie, that more people should watch, see and know about. It is twisted, psychological, thrilling, chilling, intense, creepy and dramatic. Robin Williams is excellent in this film. He freaks you out. He makes you scared. So lets talk about the film..
The Plot: Sy Parrish runs a one-hour photo developing lab in a small mall. He's a perfectionist about his work and generous to his regular customers, including a typical family headed by Will Yorkin. Over the years, he's seen their family grow through their photographs, but when he sees evidence of Yorkin being unfaithful, coupled with a threat to his position, his already precarious mental state tips over the edge.
In one of the voice-over pieces Sy can be heard to say "They actually believe that any idiot that attends a two-day seminar can master the art of making beautiful prints in less than an hour. But of course, like most things, there's far more to it than meets the eye." Robin Williams prepared for the role by training for two and-a-half days in a Southern California photo development lab.
In the DVD commentary, Romanek says that Jack Nicholson was first approached to play the lead character. Nicholson turned the role down reportedly because he thought the character was too similar to the role he played in The Shining.
Speaking of the Shining, Robin Williams was up for the part of Jack, but Jack Nicolson got the part. Intresting fact.
This film is a must see, a great psychological thriller.

my favorite film of all time.
We watched this for my Creative Writing class when I was in the 10th grade in 2014. I had never heard of it before, but after watching it, it broke me. Fantastic acting from the entire cast, especially from the late Robin Williams. It really captured the essence of friendship and camaraderie between the characters.

I was really dubious about this film, being a massive fan of the Robin Williams film, but it did impress me. I really liked this twist on how the game alters for the generation. I do wonder how they would continue it if they felt the need to do another though. I'm also curious how many younger people got the Alan Parish reference.

This is most definitely one of the best dinsey films ever made. It is a proper classic. Although they have the "traditional" princess in the story, it's not just a story based on her. The songs in it are so catchy, the storyline is just brilliant, and Robin Williams as the genie just makes the film! Defo a must watch
