    “My music is for Phoenix. Only she can sing it. Anyone else who tries, dies” Amazing time seeing Phantom of the Paradise for its 50th anniversary at the original theater it was filmed at. Paul Williams’ Q&A was excellent and they accidentally showed us a remastered original cut of the film

    Phantom of the Paradise (1974). It is so funny and so bleak that as much as this film is a preserved in amber snapshot of a cocaine addled music scene in the early 70s, show business is still this exploitive and shitty. All items excluded are to be included.

    My newest obsession is Phantom of the Paradise. I saw this flick 15-20 years ago but was not in the right headspace at the time. Reassessing the film with different eyes and it’s knocking me dead. Up there with Hedwig & the Angry Inch, Rocky Horror, and Harold and Maude for me.

    Let's crack open some good stuff after a run of duds; Brian De Palma's 1974 musical Phantom of the Paradise is a wonderfully dark, original movie with a slew of dynamite songs from the great Paul Williams. I arrived late to this wild party, but adore it. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/06/17/p...

    I think BLOW OUT is his best film. PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, his most special. But *this* is my favorite DePalma movie. My parents took me to the theater to see it right before I turned 12 (God bless the 80s) and it changed things for me. One of those, you know? ...damn thing's *still* great, too.
