Dear Cinema Diary - Vol 3 E9a - etc 2012 (77 movies items)

" A fun film that still manages to be serious. It was a good pick for an alternative movie for the holidays."

Best Alternative Christmas TV & Movies (19 movies items)

"One of my all-time favorite movies. A lot of the story takes place between Christmas and New Year's. The greatest romantic comedy of all time. Jack Lemmon's a kind of spineless schmuck, Shirley MacLaine's a cute, funny elevator operator who has poor taste in men. It's funny, it's also surprisingly dark and sad but it still warms your heart at the end. "

" Another adorable last line by Billy Wilder."

I Recommend...(The Short List) (80 movies items)

" Romantic Comedy. Directed by Billy Wilder. Stars Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine and Fred MacMurray. Romantic comedies suck. This one doesn't. It's genuinely funny and surprisingly dark for a rom-com made in 1960. Jack Lemmon manages to be likeable even as he's playing a kind of spineless loser."

Five Star Movies (165 movies items)

"Simply put: One of the greatest comedies ever made. Billy Wilder's way of concealing very dark and sad subjects under a cloak of comedy has always appealed on me. And The Apartment is definitely one of those. A movie about about disloyalty and betrayal, this one remains contemporary as long there's humankind on this planet. A comedy that is both touching and hilarious is a trademark of Wilder's later career and he was controversially the uncrowned king of the genre. "
