This was sweet. Much sweeter than I'm used to. But nice.

Well this was a bit of a chauvinist nightmare. But Lemmon still manages to be typically likable so it more or less evens out.

Historically negligent, glamorized claptrap. The only worthy element was Brady, thankfully.

Eh, not really bad, but not very good. Find it odd there's really any passion in either direction for it. *shrugs*

Man, the Californian sure was stocked with a lot of douchebags.

Convoluted and overstuffed, but I really wouldn't have it any other way.

This could've been so much better and more focused, even important; it's dealing with so many gender, sexuality and class issues that it whitewashes over so blindingly because of Close's clear demands for a showcase. And then she's outshone by McTeer. I resent the Oscar noms on the assumption that posterity will remember this.

Yeah, the only thing that entirely makes the movie worthwhile is Newman. But he's so awesome in everything anyway.

Alan Ladd was so pretty, though.

This might be the most amazingly ridiculous film I've ever seen.

It comes off so unnecessary when considering the '33 adaptation, especially since it seems to be trying hard TO just be a Technicolor version of that film. But it's some damn good Technicolor! Also Margaret O'Brien.

Don't you love it when religious audaciousness works? ♥

The original version/director's cut is among my favorites. As is the song. I really don't care about these being minority opinions.

Far and away the best video of the BTW era — even though they're all nonsensical messes in some way or another. It single-handedly made me like/love the song tbh.

The only real mainstream MV masterpiece of the last few years, I think.

I love how people hate it for being so simple and essentially bare, and they hate all her other videos for being so pretentiously overstuffed.

Stanwyck is so good in this (but how often does one NOT say that about her in anything?).

God, this was like, my childhood. First time I've seen it since I was at least 11, AND IT'S STILL BRILLIANT.

One of the most incredible cinematic experiences of the last decade. SOMEONE ARGUE WITH ME ABOUT IT.

Oh, and Reese's "give me a second nom" screaming!

The only things I remember about this are Jake being shirtless for a couple minutes and Meryl Streep being a bitch, lol.

I would hate this if it wasn't so chock-full with good performances (of which Holbrook and Keener blatantly give the best).

I still love this movie and I really don't care that I'm the only one.

Julia Jentsch probably gives my favorite performance of all time, still.

This movie is so batshit crazy, I really can't physically believe they all set out to make a serious film.

Anna Kendrick. That is all.

WHAT is this movie.

As an epic, it features some truly stunning work. As an ultimately nonsensical, proselytizing piece of crap, it also works.

I very much approve of the chosen image.

If you just pay attention to Cooper and Neal, Vidor's direction, the cinematography, art direction and score and ignore any trace of Ayn Rand and her filth, this is a pretty good movie! Albeit one without a offensively hamfisted plot and terrible screenplay, which doesn't really make it a movie anymore - but I much prefer it that way.
