neutral · AI labelView post →I tend to think of a movie as well-written if, years later, I can actually remember what happens (as opposed to, "I remember it being scary" or "I remember that actor being good in it"). Roman Holiday is great because the end's so poignant. Harakiri is similar. So's Exotica. Damn, I love Exotica lol

Five Oscar nods: for Champion, Death of a Salesman, Roman Holiday, The Nun's Story and The Children's Hour. #TheNoirCollective

The film aged beautifully— like Audrey Hepburn. Gregory Peck’s character is a gentleman. Our episode drops in two weeks, says host Molly Smith. I’ll share it here!

positive · AI labelView post →Uneven but enjoyable. Ovredal always knows how to make a great looking picture (fantastic use of Roman Holiday). The Passenger himself looked too generic, and I didn’t care for the needle drops. Not a bad horror movie imo, but a safe one in a month of big swings and new voices.

positive · AI labelView post →#filmsky Audrey Hepburn is radiant as the princess in Roman Holiday (out today, 1953) and Eddie Albert is a great comedic sidekick, but the real star of this wonderful film is Rome. I loved my recent visit but so did big crowds; in the film, those historic spots are free of tourist mobs. Paradise
