More quotes by Roger Ebert
Artists are rarely members of the popular crowd.
Roger Ebert
The screenplay is so well-written in a scruffy, fanzine way that you want to rub noses in it - the noses of those zombie writers who take 'screenwriting' classes that teach them the formulas for 'hit films.'
Roger Ebert
It is not enough for a movie to be righteous. It must also be watchable.
Roger Ebert
All good art is about something deeper than it admits.
Roger Ebert
Steven Spielberg makes Minority Report with the newest digital technology other directors seem to be trying to make their movies from it.
Roger Ebert
I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values.
Roger Ebert
If you plan to miss this movie, better miss it quickly I doubt if it'll be around to miss for long.
Roger Ebert
It is human nature to look away from illness. We don't enjoy a reminder of our own fragile mortality. That's why writing on the Internet has become a lifesaver for me. My ability to think and write have not been affected. And on the Web, my real voice finds expression.
Roger Ebert
Marlon Brando is the most influential movie actor of the century.
Roger Ebert
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
But considering that I walked in expecting no complexity at all, let alone the visual wonderments, Snow White and the Huntsman is a considerable experience.
Roger Ebert
They're not trying to prevent Hollywood from making movies. They're asking that the most powerful image-building machinery in the world stop grinding out killer dykes and twisted homo sex fiends as if sexual orientation had anything to do with criminal behavior.
Roger Ebert
When a girl says she likes you as a friend, what she means is: Rather than have sex with you, I would prefer to lose you as a friend.
Roger Ebert
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
Roger Ebert
Many thrillers follow such reliable formulas that you can look at what's happening and guess how much longer a film has to run.
Roger Ebert
There are two things you can't argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn't make you laugh, no one can tell you why it's funny, and it's difficult to reason someone out of an erection.
Roger Ebert
There are often lists of the great living male movie stars. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air.
Roger Ebert
The Bucket List is a movie about two old codgers who are nothing like people, both suffering from cancer that is nothing like cancer, and setting off on adventures that are nothing like possible. I urgently advise hospitals: Do not make the DVD available to your patients there may be an outbreak of bedpans thrown at TV screens.
Roger Ebert
I've been around a long time, and young men, if there is one thing I know, it is that the only way to kiss a girl for the first time is to look like you want to and intend do, and move in fast enough to seem eager but slow enough to give her a chance to say So anyway ... and look up as if she's trying to remember your name.
Roger Ebert
The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there?
Roger Ebert
