More quotes by Roger Ebert
The moment a man stops dreaming is the moment he petrifies inside.
Roger Ebert
I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.
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
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story Nightfall, about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen.
Roger Ebert
Marlon Brando is the most influential movie actor of the century.
Roger Ebert
It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says, 'To hell with the consequences.'
Roger Ebert
You slide down in your seat and make yourself comfortable. On the screen in front of you, the movie image appears—enormous and overwhelming. If the movie is a good one, you allow yourself to be absorbed in its fantasy, and its dreams become part of your memories
Roger Ebert
Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people.
Roger Ebert
There is a part of me that will forever want to be walking under autumn leaves, carrying a briefcase containing the works of Shakespeare and Yeats and a portable chess set. I will pass an old tree under which once on a summer night I lay on the grass with a fragrant young woman and we quoted e.e. cummings back and forth.
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
Well, you know what, I'm 60 years old, and I've been interested in politics since I was on my daddy's knee. During the 1948 election, we were praying for Truman. I know a lot about politics.
Roger Ebert
In Hollywood, 'under development' means 'all I have is the title.'
Roger Ebert
We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.
Roger Ebert
'Grand Illusion' and 'Rules of the Game' are routinely included on lists of the greatest films, and deserve to be.
Roger Ebert
To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts.
Roger Ebert
Clouds do not really look like camels or sailing ships or castles in the sky. They are simply a natural process at work. So too, perhaps, are our lives.
Roger Ebert
It is not enough for a movie to be righteous. It must also be watchable.
Roger Ebert
Valentines Day is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think its more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again. And if you like it, there may not be a second date.
Roger Ebert
I'll tell you, I think that the Internet has provided an enormous boost to film criticism by giving people an opportunity to self publish or to find sites that are friendly.
