I can never be a fan of a shot-for-shot remake, and this is no exception. This, combined with the appalling elimination of Eli's gender ambiguity, made this entire exercise unnecessary. I'm also morally offended that Reeves had the gall to claim a writing credit.

Lost in Translation speaks to me in a way that no other film has, and for that reason I would have to say it my favorite film of all time. Is it the best film ever made? No. But an emotional connection can be more powerful than any technical information ever could be ;-)

I will forever be in awe of the power and beauty of Natalie Wood.

My favorite comedy of all-time, and in my eyes, Allen's best and most underrated.

I have quite possibly viewed this film more frequently than any other. The irony is not lost on me.

As others have said, this was really good up until the cliched, action/horror ending that came from nowhere.

Hits really close to home for me. Unassuming and quietly powerful, this is as indie as it gets with a well-known cast. Don't overlook this one!

An amazingly underrated actor who shines in his supporting roles. His performance in Winter's Bone is award worthy.

While I enjoyed the film as a more than acceptable summer blockbuster, its presence on the Auteurs confuses me...

This was my introduction to non-commercial foreign films, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful.

I just can't comprehend the popularity of this film. I cringe at its mere mention. Why is it listed among the cinematic gems on this site?
