This was brilliant. This movie changed my life and 15 in 1971, I've become a famous American artist since. Four of my painting name MARQUEE are based on it,

Nicely written and performed and filmed and edited

I saw this movie at its release. I was just shy of turning 14 this was the first time I ever got emotional over a movie. I didn't even know why. I always see it once a year to remember who I once was.

This video was great man.
I saw this movie at 14 and it changed my life. 31 now and still one of my favourites.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and at 71 I've seen a lot of 'em. My affection is possibly due to a very personal connection with LPS having been born and raised in a two exactly like Anarene. But it's so much more than that. The film is perfectly cast with everyone delivering top notch performances, the script is flawless, and the direction without peer. Love Bogs as I do, this remains his finest effort, his masterpiece. And look at all the careers it either launched or cemented! Thank you for this keen appreciation of one of cinema's enduring gems.

Watching from the UK, saw this movie on TV in the late 70s, made a huge impression on me, the performances and direction were outstanding.

Clu Gulager steals every scene he is in. Sexy, intriguing, says alot with just his eyes. Ben Johnson was flawless , as were Cloris, Eileen, and Ellen. I loved it all

Hollywood tells a million beautiful stories to us about life. The ultimate nature of human reality is what I think they're shooting for here. A good number of things look so much the same today. "Same as it ever was"

Just found you today with meet joe black and am super happy to see you still post❤

[@AndrewSindt]

thanks, means a lot really! putting forth adequate effort

I think another theme is youth vs age and you often watch the older characters leech off the youth and vitality of the younger characters
