More quotes by Roger Ebert
We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try.
Roger Ebert
To call A Lot like Love dead in the water is an insult to water.
Roger Ebert
I lost faith in the Oscars the first year I was a movie critic - the year that Bonnie and Clyde didn't win.
Roger Ebert
It's strange: We leave the movie having enjoyed its conclusion so much that we almost forgot our earlier reservations. But they were there, and they were real.
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
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
Roger Ebert
Low self esteem involves imagining the worst that other people can think about you.
Roger Ebert
There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.
Roger Ebert
What happens in a fantasy can be more involving than what happens in life, and thank goodness for that.
Roger Ebert
The Lucky One is at its heart a romance novel, elevated however by Nicholas Sparks' persuasive storytelling. Readers don't read his books because they're true, but because they ought to be true.
Roger Ebert
The problem with being sure that God is on your side is that you can't change your mind, because God sure isn't going to change His.
Roger Ebert
Never marry anyone you could not sit next to during a three-day bus trip.
Roger Ebert
I was born inside the movie of my life. The visuals were before me, the audio surrounded me, the plot unfolded inevitably but not necessarily. I don't remember how I got into the movie, but it continues to entertain me.
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
If there's one thing I've learned in this life, it's that you never say no to an old gypsy woman with a blind eye and leprous fingernails.
Roger Ebert
[Marlon] Brando was the only guy who could step out of that shadow at the end of that movie and be worth the wait.
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
Rollerball is an incoherent mess, a jumble of footage in search of plot, meaning, rhythm and sense. There are bright colors and quick movement on the screen, which we can watch as a visual pattern that, in entertainment value, falls somewhere between a kaleidoscope and a lava lamp.
Roger Ebert
The fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday. And we've had a concerted policy of taking money away from the poor and giving it to the rich wholesale, and at the same time, we have the runaway corporations, and the greed.
Roger Ebert
Are vampires kinky? I didn't know.
