1 of the best movies ever made!!! Hands down!!!

“Remember, when I was little, we used to play hide and seek? But you never found me?” “That’s because I never looked for you. Well, maybe I looked a little.”

Where is this movie available?

Thanks i enjoyed and really needed this. Arthur is my #1 favorite comedy When this movie came out in 1981 I was 10 years old and just loved it!

Gielgud was just the quintessential actor to contrast Moore's childlike antics throughout the movie. And while I respect Helen Mirren, her being cast as the "modern" Hobson in the remake with that awful Russell Brand just polluted the Arthur story overall. It only left me with withdrawals to see the original again.

MIRACLE.

Giegud was GREAT as Hobson

Pussykins Cat Food was great! This episode showed how cute Sylvester Junior was, but dad had to get involved in every crazy plot. Is it any wonder he got so many lumps? However funny these are, they can’t beat the Pete Puma cartoons, especially when lumps are concerned.

Made me wonder a bit if in fact Hobson was his “father”

So many lessons in this comedic tragedy

Gielgud could be such a fabulous comedy actor.

Hobson makes the movie with his ultra dry humor.

Hobson, Bach, Legends.

What’s the episode called

Wonderful actor

So great to see comedy rewarded with an Oscar. He earned it!

Sir did acted in haunted cabinet episode of a haunting?

Wow, this cat is a good actor, maybe he should star in a series of commercials where he risks his life to get cat food.

At the time Arthur came out in the theaters in 1981, I was 12 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery. Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies together over the years. We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Arthur. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released. As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself regardless of what I saw, as an abused, neglected child, there were a small handful of movies that stood out and managed to hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Arthur was one of those movies. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. In the following years, whenever Arthur popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD. So, I say to the cast and crew of Arthur, from the bottom of the heart of an abused boy, I thank you all so very, very much.

Note the guy on the phone whom Hobson tells to go screw himself. Thats Paul Gleason, probably best known as Vice Principal Vernon in The Breakfast Club and as Clarence Beeks in Trading Places

Hopson is terrific at insults.!😅

That’s what I live for! Gets me every time 😂

He was an utter genius.

This was an awesome movie, they don’t make them like that any more. When I see this it makes me sad too knowing how Dudley Moore eventually died; he suffered so much.

Are you getting more cat food lately, but enjoying it less? 😵‍💫

Everyone deserves a Hobson.❤️❤️❤️

Just makes me really cry

"You purchased a choo choo!?"

“If I begin to die, please take this off my head.” LMMFAOOOOOO.

5:30 Omg😂😂 This actor is absolutely hilarious. Being born in 79 i didnt see this when it came out or ever...after seeing this i am!!

Loved this role for Geilgud. Sarcasm, life counselling, wit, sometimes mercilessly delivered with brevity. 🤣

The line I remember most from the movie is what a very drunk Arthur says to the moose's head on the wall. "This must be very embarrassing for you."

“I look forward to your next syllable with great eagerness” Insinuation at its finest.

It ain't easy

He was classic in summer lease!

Saving a fortune on prostitutes!

Faultless english!

They just don't make Beautiful Movies like this Anymore 😢

Anyone who has a friend and mentor like Hobson is truly blessed.

"Please, stop doing that"😂😂😂

I watched, then sent this to a fellow Arthur / Sir John fan on Twitter. I love your stitch-up! 👍🏼

you spoilt little bastard. love it

oh god, this made me laugh out loud

Hobson and Aurthor were fantastic together! This is definitely one of the best films to come out of the 1980s. That last line when Hobson tells Aurthor he's a good son always gets me.❤

Liza was pretty hot back in the day.

Sad when he died the two of them were great friends.

the aspirins are for you my dear

your miserable? I got all this and I'm on salary

One of my favorite characters of all time.

I had a Hobson. I knew her well, as mom.
