The Window is not without a certain visual spell that makes it a first-rate artistic achievement.

Lola Montes is, in my unhumble opinion, the greatest film of all time, and I am willing to stake my critical reputation, such as it is, on this one proposition above all others.

The emotional elevation of the film is due in no small measure to the extraordinarily engaging performances of Anne Bancroft as the wife-mother-mistress, Dustin Hoffman as the lumbering Lancelot, and Katherine Ross as his fair Elaine.

There's a part of me that looks beyond everything now.

I was a solipsist and a narcissist and much too arrogant. I have a lot more compassion now, but it took a long time.

I hate to go out on a limb after only one viewing, but Nashville strikes me as Altman's best film, and the most exciting dramatic musical since Blue Angel.

I never argue with people about movies.
