It's such a inspiring movie too! Whenever I see it, I instantly get motivated to tackle on projects that seem "impossible." A great movie all around!

When I watched this recently, a quote stood out to me where the doctor asks him if he is alright and he said "yeah!". Then the doctor followed up with: "Yeah, you're alright. You're alive." It was just so simple and a heartwarming piece of dialogue that easily can get lost in a movie but meant a lot.

Well I've been meaning to check out the Grumpy Old Men movies recently and kept postponing it for whatever reason. So now is the time and your influence helped lol.

Absolutely and it comes highly recommend, it's one of his best ever and arguably his best.

>Which while I'm at it I should add Grumpy Old Men and Grumpyer Old Men as well.

Now you giving me ideas, how ironic lol. Thanks for your suggestion!

The Apartment (1960) is a great New Years watch and a timeless movie. It won the Best Picture Oscar back in the day and it's just a wonderful story.

I loved this movie! It's such a well crafted movie and I love the 'Rashomon' style the story employs. Philip Seymour Hoffman stole the show and his meltdown in the second half, as tragic as it was, is quite sardonic. But an excellent swansong this was for Sidney Lumet, reminding us why he was one of the greatest directors of his time. An underrated, overlooked gem that was a highlight of that year's best. It deserves to be checked out and discovered.

I watched this for the first time last week and the ending, specifically the last five minutes, felt out of place. Maybe besides shrinking down Grillo's role, Gerard Butler had a hand in making that ambiguous ending on the highway with him and the cop waiting in the ambulance. It was just an odd way to finish a great movie and it felt like it was tacked on or reshoot in post production. That's just my take on this whole debacle.
