Worth Film

Famous quotes containing the words worth and/or film:

“If you would not be forgotten,
as soon as you are dead and rotten,
either write things worth reading
or do things worth the writing.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

“The motion picture is like a picture of a lady in a half- piece bathing suit. If she wore a few more clothes, you might be intrigued. If she wore no clothes at all, you might be shocked. But the way it is, you are occupied with noticing that her knees are too bony and that her toenails are too large. The modern film tries too hard to be real. Its techniques of illusion are so perfect that it requires no contribution from the audience but a mouthful of popcorn.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
