Famous quotes containing the word movies:

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

    “The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
    —Jill Robinson (b. 1936)

    “One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless.... They have put into practise the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
