Famous quotes containing the word movies:

    “Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “... in the movies Paris is designed as a backdrop for only three things—love, fashion shows, and revolution.”
    —Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)

    “All television ever did was shrink the demand for ordinary movies. The demand for extraordinary movies increased. If any one thing is wrong with the movie industry today, it is the unrelenting effort to astonish.”
    —Clive James (b. 1939)
