One for the watch list! Theater within movies can be a really fruitful scenario.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

yeah, a long history there.

[@mariastewart1743]

Thank ypu! I was a teenager when I saw this at the cinema. I loved it!

[@quietman71]

I'll second your opinion: Criterion, PLEASE put this on Blu Ray!

[@ruly8153]

I believe Albert Finney to be the greatest British actor of all time. Several actors have equaled his chameleon skills (Daniel day Lewis, Gary Oldman, etc) but NONE have been able to have heart in all of their performance and maintain that subtlety like Albert Finney

[@LearningaboutMovies]

excellent, thank you.

Blade runner Dir- Ridley Scott 8. Vertigo Dir- Alfred Hitchcock 9. Tree of Life Dir- Terrance mallik 10. Raging Bull Dir - Martin Scorsese I have not seen many movies. I am only 19.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thank you. Later this year, I'll be inviting viewers to submit such lists. Will make a video on "best movies to use in a class," and a list like this will come in handy.

[@sanidhyasingh227]

I listed only 9. The tenth would be David lynch's Mulholland drive. You should analyze a lynch film professor.

I did The Elephant Man, and Eraserhead.

Watched ‘The Dresser’ on Wednesday and was very grateful for the experience. Fine film. Watched ‘The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum’ (1939, dir. Mizoguchi) on Thursday, and just wanted to recommend it to anybody who enjoyed the Yates’ picture. It follows the story of a Kabuki actor (who ironically specializes in playing female roles) who relies on the support of his wife to hone his acting skills to the point that he can return to the biggest stage and win his fandom. Of course, it is the female in this story who is used up and ultimately sacrifices her life.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

excellent, thank you.

[@willtheman840]

Wonderful movie. Don't forget the great Eileen Atkins.

[@LearningaboutMovies]

thank you!

How did The Dresser or The Right Stuff not win the Oscar that year

[@LearningaboutMovies]

I haven't seen Terms of Endearment in such a long time that I forget if it's really any good or not.

[@tomislavcehajic9642]

This is the great movie without any doubt, if one one ho most desirve oscar in this movie is Albert Finney

[@LearningaboutMovies]

we should do a retroactive Oscars and let him win!
