One of the ultimate auteurist films. An unflinching gaze into the mind of a madman. Sam Peckinpah as Warren Oates and vice-versa. Pure cinema.
A great exploration of His monumental fear of women and sexuality. A masterpiece.
Absolutely brilliant.
America learns the horrible price of Rock Hudson's destiny in this lavishly ravaging, tongue-in-cheek melodrama. Shot like a beautiful bouquet of flowers by Russell Metty, produced by Ross Hunter, and directed by the Sultan of Soap himself, Douglas Sirk, 'Magnificent Obsession' explores questions of fate and faith, coincidence and chance, love and death, and is the grand-daddy of all modern medical drama. Dr. Philips must die so that playboy Bob Merrick may live in this demented wheel-of-fortune. A creepy film.
Man I love this film. 'Your momma turned you over, man!' 'Your passport's a faaaaaake, maaaaaaan!'
As close to high art as cinema gets.
Seriously, fuck people who don't like this movie. I take it as a personal insult.
I saw a very long picture about a dog.
A frightening labyrinth.
The scene where Keitel blasts the car radio to hell when the Dodgers lose Game 4 of the World Series is probably one of the finest moments of 90's cinema.
This film is too much for me. It's evil. It's dangerous. I'm in awe of its power.
My favorite film of all time. Just magnificent.
This is the worst fucking movie I have ever seen in my life. I would rather be shot in the head than watch this piece of shit again.
I fucking love Mamet.
