Had I never read the book I would've thought this was an okay western. But knowing the source material I have to say this movie fails to give it's title character the same awe and hero worship that Joey's POV does in the book. A better realized version of this plot is Rachel and The Stranger which, unfortunately isn't in this database. It's a better movie, watch it instead.
A powerful and witchy movie. The story moves into a dreamlike progression. Symbols and designs repeat like the illuminated book at it's center. The images and music seem to weave a spell. There's more going on here then would first appear. A wonderful movie. Better by far then Academy Award winner, UP!
Ginger Rogers goes to bed without taking her makeup off in a ornate bed that's way over the top. Everybody lives in luxurious hotel rooms with enough space to tap dance at all hours of the day and night while drinking from fully stocked bars. Did they really live like this? What mad fantasy is this? Has a few memorable music and dance numbers.
Damn good movie.
The Scottish play never looked so good. Forget Laurence Olivier. This is bloody Shakespeare.
A truly wonderful movie. The final reel always breaks my heart. Possibly my favorite Kurasawa movie...
Wow. Now that's a bad movie. So bad it's hard to take seriously.
I always find something new every time I watch.
Every time I catch part of this I want to see the Francis X Bushman version.
There's a lot of corn here, yet somehow it's enduring. It resonates by suggesting that what you're watching is more legend then truth and that it's always been that way. We've always preferred the legend over the truth. And that rings true.
Orson Welles' mindf*ck/commentary on artists and capital A "art." A must see.
It's Daffy against his animator and a comment on the endless possibilities of the medium of animation.
A wonderful film that all children should see.
The sense of adventure in this movie overwhelmed me as a kid. White hunters, lost continents, cannibals, virgin sacrifice, man eating dinosaurs, ancient ruins, a jungle filled with death and a freakin' huge gorilla! And that's just New York.
THIS is my all time favorite movie. This movie fueled my young mind and made me look at all other movies with a different eye. Godzilla is truly the 9th wonder of the world!
I have mixed feelings about this movie. It has some great animation and a wonderful score. But it loses the plot in the final reel.
The movie plays more like a Grimms Brother's fairy tale that Lon Chaney Jr. has somehow wandered in to. Strange and surreal. It's like a bad dream that Talbot can't wake up from. It's not nearly as memorable as Dracula or Frankenstein or even Bride of Frankenstein. It feels like a missed opportunity.
I didn't like it when I first saw it. But I couldn't get it out of my head for days.
Kung fu, romance and freaky supernatural weirdness. It's just a damn good movie.
Yeah, it's corn. But it's likable corn. But you can't help but fall for Jean Arthur. And Charles Coburn's Mister Dingle is the best. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
Thelma Ritter broke my heart. But it's worth it. Highly recommended.
It has moments of greatness and terror, and it's worth it for those moments. It still seems uneven and at times incoherent. This was Disney animators at the height of their game.
It follows the book closely. But I'm more of a fan of the book then the movie. Not one of Wayne's best performances, but he is the movie. Without him it wouldn't be watchable.
A disappointing movie. Feels like it was made for TV. I wonder what it could've been if Sam Fuller or Sam Peckinpah had made it.
Visually brilliant. I have to see this again.
An amazing film.
My favorite Bogart movie, so far.
Still holds up pretty well. Feels kinda staged at points, but it does entertain.
Pollyanna with robots. Or. Silent Running with a happy ending and less hippies.
A wonderful fairy tale. Filled with real terror and danger, just as any good fairy tale should.
