Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images.
Roger Ebert
Image
It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'
Roger Ebert
Image
You can have a movie with hardly any cuts, or very few cuts, that is fascinating, you can't take your eyes away from it... Look at some of the long takes in Citizen Kane.
Roger Ebert
Image
A corner is important. It provides privacy and an anchor and lets you exist independently of the room.

The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
Roger Ebert

We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls.

To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?

I was instructed long ago by a wise editor, If you understand something you can explain it so that almost anyone can understand it. If you don't, you won't be able to understand your own explanation. That is why 90% of academic film theory is bullshit. Jargon is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.

Socrates told us, the unexamined life is not worth living. I think he's calling for curiosity, more than knowledge. In every human society at all times and at all levels, the curious are at the leading edge.

When I had been a film critic for ten minutes, I treated Doris Day as a target for cheap shots. I have learned enough to say today that the woman was remarkably gifted.

It is quite possible for the vulgar to be funny, but to succeed, it must rise to a certain genius.
Roger Ebert
Image
Horror fans are a particular breed. They analyze films with such detail and expertise that I am reminded of the Canadian literary critic Northrup Frye, who approached literature with similar archetypal analysis.

Image
My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.

If there is such a thing as a lock on an Oscar nomination, ... Hoffman has one.

Movies that encourage empathy are more effective than those that objectify problems.
Roger Ebert
Image
I began to realize that I had tended to avoid some people because of my instant conclusions about who they were and what they would have to say. I discovered that everyone, speaking honestly and openly, had important things to tell me.

Movies are not about moving, but about whether to move.
