"If you’re worried that you’re crazy and want to feel sane, watch this riveting documentary about artist R. Crumb and his relatives. His family defines dysfunctional. He alone found a way to channel the dysfunctionality into creativity as a unique form of visual art."

"I'm not sure which language it's best to watch this in. Adjani speaks French. Shelley Winters and Melvyn Douglas are American. Polanski is Polish, but I expect he can play the part in any tongue. One of my favorites, one of this master's best."

"Sweet Smell of Success. That movie, it was just dialogue. The dialogue was absolutely amazing in that movie. They just don’t write movies like that any more. You can watch that over and over and over again and never get tired of the dialogue."

"I’m late to this party but my life is immeasurably improved with the presence of this sunny, good-spirited TV show about regular people with very special skills. Quite literally a show I can watch with the whole family and talk about for hours later."

"This very early work by Stanley Kubrick is the most powerful antiwar film I know. Its emotional impact is overwhelming. Few people can watch the last scene without shedding tears. (The singer in it became Kubrick’s second wife, and they remained together until his death.)"

"A one-of-a-kind film that will have you on the edge of your seat. The suspense is overwhelming, as men attempt to haul truckloads of nitroglycerin along a hellish South American road. It’s a delight to watch Yves Montand sweat it out."
