"Definitely one of my all-time favorite movies. Here’s the guy who directed Spartacus, and Dr. Strangelove is very different. It’s got great political satire, and at the same time that kind of crazy, great Peter Sellers comedy mixed together, which is really amazing. And it looks awesome."

"Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Milton Berle! I don’t think I have ever used the term madcap, but it’s suitable here. Stanley Kramer’s crazy comedy/adventure has great action and standout performances from many of the top comics of the ’60s. A groovy ride, and in 70 mm, yet."

"This is one crazy book, but I just love it. It’s about a reckless, old, out-of-work puppeteer named Mickey Sabbath who gets himself in all kinds of trouble out of sheer libidinous self-destructiveness. Roth wrote it with exuberant abandon, reflecting the character of Sabbath himself."

"I almost went with Blow Out, which is probably director Brian De Palma’s best, but there’s a special, heightened allure in Dressed to Kill: lush, sleazy, ideologically complicated, and distinctly crazy, it’s a movie that I could watch over and over and still uncover more under its slick surfaces."

"I know we’re probably done, but I just have to say Tootsie is so wonderful and farcical… Feature comedy is very difficult to do. Tootsie took a crazy, ludicrous situation and made it utterly believable. You really believe Dustin Hoffman and the trials he had as a woman."
