More quotes by Roger Ebert

Image
We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.

We must try to contribute joy to the world.

Roger Ebert
Image
Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.
Roger Ebert
Image
Only enormously talented people could have made Death to Smoochy . Those with lesser gifts would have lacked the nerve to make a film so bad, so miscalculated, so lacking any connection with any possible audience.
Roger Ebert
Image
James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.
Roger Ebert
Image
It is not enough for a movie to be righteous. It must also be watchable.
Roger Ebert
Image
If there's anything I hate more than a stupid action comedy, it's an incompetent stupid action comedy. It's not so bad it's good. It's so bad it's nothing else but bad.
Roger Ebert

The moment a man stops dreaming is the moment he petrifies inside.
Roger Ebert
Image
Dirty Love wasn't written and directed, it was committed. Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness. It is hopelessly incompetent... I am not certain that anyone involved has ever seen a movie, or knows what one is.

We don't have a lot of class-conscious filmmaking.

Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.
