This is one of the best movies ever. I still love it today. Does anyone else get nervous watching it? Imagine being middle aged and giving up your home, then trying to find a job in an unfamiliar town. I'd be too stressed and running back to sleep on Bea's couch. Does anyone else feel the same way?
in my opinion, one of the best female performances in the history of film. i don't think i've ever seen an actress so naturalistic yet explicitly committed to a role as ellen burstyn is here.
Looking forward to watching this movie. Not that often I find dig iike this on you-tube. First few scenes funny. That redneck tell Alice to be a good excample for the boy as far as respect is concerned. AND THEN HE WACKS HER ONE! Now that´s respect.
I wonder if Diane Ladd was asked to be in the TV version of this as Flo? Odd that she did play on the "Alice" sitcom, but only for one season as Belle.
@MeBenHalpin Yes, it starred Linda Lavin as Alice, Phillip McKeown as Tommy (His Sister Nancy played Jo on The Facts Of Life) and Vic Tayback who reprised his Role as Mel Sharples. Diane Ladd was also on The TV Version but she didn't stay long. She and Linda Lavin didn't get along all that well. Later on Linda would play Mrs. Van Daan on Broadway in The Diary Of Anne Frank with Nathalie Portman and Rachel Miner when she was married to MacCauley Culkin.
I have been getting ready for an acquaintance with this film for 15 years. I have now to corroborate that it was not worth such a long postponement. Had I watched it when I was 15 at that time, would I now be completely another, much better human being. Certainly Scorsese is a masterful film narrator.
Fantastic movie; saw it when it first came out and was blown away, nothing like it before or since. Adore Alfred Lutter, he was so good! And at that time no one in the audience knew who Jodie Foster; we were so shocked to find she was a girl!
One of the best movies ever. Ellen Burstyn really deserved the Oscar. Makes up for the fact that she lost it the year before for The Exorcist. She needed to win that one also. I think this was also a great lead up to the sitcom spin off Alice. I really enjoyed that show too. Thanx for posting.
Thanks for the download, one of my favorite movies of all time, a very underrated film. Burstyn deserved her Oscar and and Alfred Lutter, who played Tommy, was excellent--so was Kris Kristofferson. The TV series can't hold a candle to the movie.
What does the boy want?

The movie is so great and a pure classic as all Scorsese works , but the red color in the first minutes of the film is causing me nausea

Ellen Burstyn is the greatest actress of the last century, therefore in the history of motion pics so far.
