beautiful costumes, a charming laugh from Mozart, an occasional hilarious scene and Berridge's chest in everyone's face (and of course beautiful music) is all I could really find in this film. I think it was really drawn out, which is understandable I suppose, but it just wasn't for me.

Music History, lush cinematography, top notch performances, universal truths explored and some dick & fart jokes thrown in for good measure. A classic. (side note: Brilliantly parodied on Mr. Show with dueling marching band composers.)

The film that really got me into classical music.

Uproariously funny, with a good bit of drama thrown in, Amadeus is a terrific exploration of rivalries-gone-awry. Abraham and Hulce are a marvel to watch.

A strong and flamboyant movie! I think it's a perfect way to do a biography–through the eyes and mouth of the jealous friend. This way Mozart can be misunderstood and misinterpreted, remaining as a mystery, flooded with 'the voice of God'. Hulce is like Billy the kid, he dodged a bullet and went into hiding.

A gorgeous and powerful film. Deserves all the Oscars it won three decades ago.

I loved the dictation scene at the end. Good performances but not something I'd ever watch again.

Because you've got to have balls to give W.A.M. pink hair.

It did not woe me at all. It is a long long costume drama about a guy with an annoying laugh and an obvious talent for music.

I'm almost sorry I watched the restored version. It turned Salieri into a far more unsympathetic man (i.e. his humiliation of Mozart's wife). Stick with the original theatrical version.

Ambitious project. Good actors, great music throughout, technical perfection in it's time but felt couldn't really capture Mozart's great moments. More like an attitudinizing piece.

Salieri describing Mozart's Don Giovanni was magical

One of the most visually gorgeous films of all time and one of the greatest screen performances of all time from F. Murray Abraham. In addition to that, the entire cast is incredible, it's story and characters are deeply involving, and it is just simply an extremely entertaining movie. A masterpiece.

Pop history/mythology that is irresistibly entertaining. A classic of the 1980s.

I'm sure Mozart was not that stupid laughing like a hyena all the time...

It's hard to watch pieces that portray this period after Barry Lyndon. Forman approaches the same stylistic characteristics that Kubrick shows reverence for, with a combination of facetiousness and absurdity. Kubrick just does it better. Forman should have focused on character idiosyncrasies more and not worried so much about the presentation.
