Famous quotes containing the word film:

    “I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
    —David Cronenberg (b. 1943)

    “This film is apparently meaningless, but if it has any meaning it is doubtless objectionable.”
    —British Board Of Film Censors. Quoted in Halliwell’s Filmgoer’s Companion (1984)
