I LOVE this movie. Anyone else agree?


I've seen it 4-5 times, it never gets old. Whenever I'm bored I put it on. Just wanted to see if anyone else can't seem to get enough as well.

I agree, you do love this movie!

Yeah, I like it too...it's been a long time, though, I keep hoping for a widescreen release. I fell for it as a fan of Hitchcock originally and now would like to reassess it as I get to know Polanski's films better.

one of my 41/3400 "10's"... awesome movie!!!
the film isn't perfect(no film is), but with so many signature scenes, ennio score, harrison's performance, and the overall style feel of the film... it's aces... rooftop scene and dancing scene amongst my favortie scenes of all-time... the film just has a classic air about it..

the most sorely under-rated movie on imdb at 6.9... that's laughable... just because the plot is poorly explained and the ending isn't as hollywood as some would have liked doesn't make it any less brilliant... we're the audience, not the writers of the original story... we shouldn't have to have every intricacy of the plot spelled out for us... I like the fact that so much isnt explained here.

virtuoso film-making.

I've seen this movie several hundred times over the years. It never gets old. There's just something about it. I can't put my finger on it, but it's seriously under rated and well done. Great music, great acting, it's Paris and often at night, it's even got John Mahoney in a small part. What's not to like? But there's just something about it that makes it never become dull. I love it.
