I LOVE this movie. Anyone else agree?

Yes, I LOVE this film. One of my all-time favorites not released in widescreen by Warner Bros. Shame on them!! Roman Polanski's direction, Ennio Morricone's score, and the Paris locations plus that Grace Jones song- ****. Everytime I visit Paris, I see the film. Its an excellent film. I've seen it more than 100 times.

It really felt like a movie which you can watch whenever you just want to watch something, but I don't know for sure, because I saw it three days ago and haven't revisited it yet. But after that first viewing I instantly loved it, although it's not as good as the other Roman Polanski films I've seen, being Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown. Now I'm looking forward to discovering more of Roman Polanski's work, but I still have an x-number of films waiting on a first viewing...

It's my favorite Harrison Ford film, and that's a bold statement.

I've seen it- I don't know how many times- and I never miss it when it's on tv. Terribly underrated. I also adore Witness and Blade runner. Love Harrison Ford eighties movies.

I agree, stza! I love it more with each viewing. I really enjoy the action, drama, and humor in the film. The roof scene is absolutely hilarious! Harrison Ford was great in this! I just love the unfortunate, yet humorous, situations his character gets into; like the roof scene, getting kicked in the face while nude and holding a teddy bear...etc. Plus the awkward dancing! Not only that, it was set in France. Fantastic!

Emmanuelle Seigner was wonderful as well!

YES! I love this film. I watch it every single time it is on television. I find that there is something new that I haven't noticed every time I see this movie. I have seen it about 25-50 times. I'm not sure because I've been watching it over and over since it came out 21 years ago.

I love the location of shooting it in Paris.
I love the juxtaposition of the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty.
I love the French music in the background.
I love the hotel, the staff and the way it plays into this film.
I love the eighties feel of the film.
This is one of my favorite Harrison Ford films.
I love the characters in this film, most of whom are French.

I don't understand why this film is so underrated in the IMDB.

I watched it for the first time last night and while I can see it's not for everyone, I found it to be a pretty good film.

That scene where he's climbing on top of the apartments and slips and catches the antenna before falling over is incredible. Then he loses his shoes... seems to make the situation feel so much worse.

I saw it again last weekend. I've seen it several times since it was new in 1988.
It was even BETTER than I remembered it! I love this thriller. It has so many wonderful details.

Why it wasn't a smash hit when it was released I don't know. I just opened and read a biography of about mr. Polanski and it said that the film was a relative success at the time, not the flop as I thought. It did good business according to the book, which is a relief to me.
I think this film is a classic thriller and that more people should know about it!
