John Barry did the soundtrack for the movie, one of his best ever.
I liked this movie. Of course, anytime the critics rave about a film, I never bother watching it. It the artsy-fartsy, tea and croissant crowd love it, it’s usually crap.
Hm....
O love this movie, and “The Lakehouse” with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
The scene where Christopher Reeve pulls the1970’s penny out of his pocket and triggers his return to modern time was really dramatic and really well done. I thought it was a great story and I am a guy who thinks good dramatic movies means anything from Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, Joe Pesci...
a Penny for your thought.
hated it.
I saw the movie as a kid. I thought it was okay, though at the time it wasn’t something I’d want to see again and again. Never realized it had become a “cult classic.”
Then again, my idea of a cult classic was always more along the lines of Blue Velvet, so there’s that, too. (Good thing we don’t have a annual festival for that one, LOL!).
I liked this movie!
Took a girl to see this movie when it came
out.Was bored to death at first,but by the
end was enjoying it.Only time I have seen it.
Macinac Island is a great place to visit and
see this hotel...also love all the chocolate shops.
Art Bell and George Noory both love this film. Both could talk about the implications of the vignettes for HOURS, and have done so. The hook for them was the notion of time travel and pasts’ relation to the future.
It was a good date flick.
Roger Ebert and others hated Blade Runner when it came out.
Later, when it was issued without the voiceover narration, the critics used that as an excuse to finally join the popular fans of the film.
I’d trust the reviews of people who PAID to eat their meal or see a movie, obtain a book or record, etc. than those who take the freebies for granted, pushing weak (or overpriced) crud while panning something that may actually satisfy.
It wasn’t my kind of movie but I do agree that critics are generally idiots.
It was my late mother’s favorite film. I cannot hear the theme song without losing it like a little girl.
Movie & book critics are irrelevant to me.
I buy based on what works for me.
I loved that movie. The music was so haunting.
Vaguely remember the movie now that I see the poster. Never saw it, never knew about its cult status.
Yep, great movie! Great score. Great acting.
I’m not sure I’d do the whole dress up at the hotel thing, but nevertheless a great movie. lol
