It doesn't get much better then this.

When I first heard about this movie, I thought, "A guy cheats on a quiz show. What a dumb idea." Then when it was up for the 1994 Oscar for Best Picture, I said to myself, "Well, I saw the other four movies up for BP this year." So I rented it. Then I bought it. Then it was playing in my VCR almost every day as background sound when I played on the computer or ate. I have the dialogue pretty much memorized now. The movie is art. It was an instant classic. A must see. Every time I watch it I notice something new or "get" a joke I never understood before. It has fantastic actors, unbelievable dialogue, and is a cute little story. This reigns as my favorite movie of all time.

Entertaining and VERY well acted

Rare is the movie that ends TOO soon.

This movie draws you in from the very first scene and has you firmly in it's grip until the closing credits.

The movie, which is set in the '50's, is filled with characters you care about, well acted, every nuance well established and played by a magnificent cast.


Geritol, it makes your blood run good!

If you want my opinion, this is the greatest movie of all time. It's better than the Godfather, Citizen Kane, and Casablanca will ever be. The plot and acting is spellbinding and no one actor is better than the other in Robert Redford's best film.


Gets better by the day

At the end of Redford's best film, Quiz Show, one of the indignent producers of "21" says that (to paraphraze) 'the quiz shows will be back, they'll just make the questions easier because no one was watching for a display of intelectual prowess, but they were watching the money.' With the flood of big money, small brains quiz shows with multiple choice questions that have hit the air waves in the past year, no one can deny the prophetic power of the film. And with great performances and a lack of clear good guys and bad guys, theres nothing that stops this from being one of the best film of the 90's.

A TRIUMPH ON EVERY LEVEL!

I am a fan of Robert Redford as both an actor and a director, and as the latter this is his crowning achievement. It has the subtlety and scharacter development of Ordinary People with the good natured love of A River Runs Through It. But it also has an understanding look at it's characters and that is what won me over. No one is all good or all bad the film shows everyone fairly and without prejudice. Quiz Show is powerful without getting in your face and moving without feeling manipulative. It is what all films try and achieve. Realism, depth and subtlety all rolled together. Ralph Fiennes is fantastic so is Mr. Morrow and John Turturro is excellent. If you never saw this then take the time to view great vintage filmmaking at it's best.
