Oh. My. God.

If you haven't seen this 1991 classic comedy, see it now.
The premise is that we follow events during one night in taxis in several places around the world: New York, LA, Paris, Rome, and Helsinki. The best, by far, the one I always think of first when someone mentions this incredibly funny and touching film, is the one set in Rome with Roberto Benigni as the taxi driver. He gives this rambling monologue sort of a confession about lambs and pumpkins and sex that you HAVE to see the movie to appreciate. There's a priest in the back seat getting more and more `cardiac challenged' by the specific nature of this confession. It's a marvelous set piece, and I always rewind and watch that sequence at least 2-3 more times. It is just as funny on the 3rd viewing as it was on the first.
Top notch.

should be a cult classic

Night On Earth is the story of five simultaneous taxi rides in 5 different corners of the world- evening in L.A., nighttime in New York, late night in Paris & Rome, and dawn in Helsinki. These five vignettes are all masterfully written and directed. The acting is superb; the cinematography is marvelous (great street scenes of each city). The stories run the gauntlet of emotions, hilariously funny at times, deeply serious at others. I cannot understand why this terrific movie has not received more accolades than it has.

Time to open my mouth I've been waiting years for the dvd

I went to see the film reluctantly with a friend when it came out. Well, need I say I have been telling everyone I know about it ever since.... and every so often I check to see if it's out yet. I've been patient enough! When is this film going to be release on DVD format? It's long over due! The film has great well known actors, hysterical humor, a great way to look at how a simple everyday cab ride in there respective locations, Rome, Paris, Helsinki, NY and LA could give such comical insight to our cultural differeces. GREAT GREAT GREAT!

outstanding

My wife and I both regard Night on Earth as our all time favorite movie. We've taken on the role of sharing it with as many of our friends and family as possible. In the process we've had the chance to view it at least a half-dozen times. Each time as it weaves a more intricate tapestry, we appreciate the subtilties of direction, the skillful acting, the exquisite attention to detail, and the range of emotions evoked. It is truly a masterpiece that deserves to be remastered on DVD.
