  • What does the boy want?

  • This kid was brilliant. He should have won an award too.

  • Good Movie But less than good ending!!

  • 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?

  • Good Movie,But ending was ridiculous!!!

  • This movie is a shot of life. One of my very favorites.

  • 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.

  • Think they used enough orange light in the opening?

  • @johnyzero2000 He's emulating movies from the late 30s 40s, early days of color cinema.

  • 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.

  • Alice's husband is hot tempered.

  • @Zotthel are you going to post anymore jodi foster movies ?

  • i heard about this movie awhile back but i haven't got the chance to watch it, so i am  happy that it's posted, Jodie Foster is wonderful :)

  • 8:05

    

  • Actually, the spinoff was in '76, I believe.

  • There's a real Mel's Diner in Phoenix, my hometown :)

  • Thanks so much!

  • 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.

  • The amazing Ellen Burrstyn! Wow!!

  • 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.

  • @bluenail03 Was there tv version, never knew that, was that shortly after this.

  • @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.

  • @laminage Right thanks for that bit of info, really enjoyed this movie, can't imagine the series being patch on it, was it?

  • 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.

  • Sorry I was the 13-th to rate: I had to be the million-th.

  • 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!

  • Excellent, thanks for sharing!

  • at 1:44, the red sunset rail scene looks like GWTW where Rhett asks Scarlett to jump down and say goodbye to him...

  • @VTMCompany I got the image of Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz" during that scene.

  • 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.

  • Wow you think they have enough orange light in the opening scenes?

  • 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.

  • 1000 Thanks, have been searching forever for this!

  • Thanks for posting this great great film! one of the best made in the good old 70s

  • min 1:09 Marcia Lucas edited this...Friggin awesome. A year later she'd

    work on Star Wars pooling the scraps George Lucas couldnt quite put together. XD!!!
