Diane Keaton Looking for Mr. Goodbar

[goback3spaces]

So this is what Kay did after she split with Michael. Picking up guys while reading her own story at the bar...

[cocoaqueen16]

She was a nymphomaniac who screwed anything with a pulse only to finally take the wrong guy home. A psychopath who rapes & murders her. The End.

[99762354]

assisti esse filme deu anciã de fomitos com a cena final ,mas um filme com fatos verídicos.

e que no mundo que vivemos talvez até real...

[psadpoiafsdf]

I never saw this movie but wasn't Don't Leave Me this way by thelma houston used in this movie?

[supermandisco]

To this day I do that hand banging thing on my desktop at work. Once in awhile, but I know what Im thinking of!

[DanielTheWalrus]

"Pacino is something, huh?"

LOVE that line!

[lamareaton]

Yeah this movie was based on a true story and after the main character's death, the NY police tried to blame her for her own death pretty much saying her own life style was a cause of her death. I remember as a kid when the movie came out it was a controversial movie.

[57highland]

@lamareaton A man was arrested and indicted for her death but hanged himself in jail before he could go to trial. So the police did attempt to solve the crime, but I think you're right; the "blame the victim" mentality is pretty common among law enforcement.

[KarmicOmen]

Tony the obnoxious Guido was playboy, but probably harmless -- while Mr. suave and maturity Gary was a stark raving lunatic.

Since you never can tell, leave them both at the bar and bring home a phone number instead.

[mackawack12346]

tell my wife i ass fucked the baby sitter.

[taurist]

the movie is just saying live your life.. no matter how short... or long.. or caring... blah blah blah.. sex ain't a sin.. lust is sexy.. and watch your back... happy new year y'all

[sixsixxsixxxx]

@taurist boy are you wrong

[jimmyhd1969]

I think the message of the movie is that there is no such thing as a doublr life and sex has a price tag.

[badthess]

i read this book...creative scenery and characters..but kinda deppressing at the end..i wish i can watch the movie also..

[PaytonWestlake]

Mr Goodbar to the front desk. The front desk of the candy convention is looking for mr. goodbar

[scottmanduzy]

Gere was way cool in this film.

[randalljones58]

This movie was depressing.

[ohpruenella]

This movie was phenomenal, and way ahead of it's time as far as it's honesty in portraying the seedy nightlife of the singles scene. Diane Keaton also gave a brillant performance. This was the type of movie you watch and can discuss afterwards, which is the sign of a great work of fim art.

[DanielTheWalrus]

A star is born: Richard Gere!

[scottmanduzy]

amazing year for Diane keaton, this film and an oscar for annie hall!  two more diverse roles to play

[ozboy39]

Thi is a great movie- I have been looking for a dvd release of this but still its not out- anyone know of it ever being released on dvd?

[Grifiki]

"What Film?"

[manfocused]

Wait. Did people really read books while at the bar in the 70's? 

[scottmanduzy]

@manfocused yes, people were actually better read back then. TV was not the center of our universe as it is now.

[devilwithnosocks]

Camaros and disco killed a lot of people back in the day.

[eezysqueezy]

I hated the ending. Fuck Mr Goodbar! She should have paired off with another hot chick and started distributing their own porno film loops...

Hollywood has no imagination sometimes.

[fago28]

Filme incrível!

[jldella99]

Ummm...everyone's aware that 75% of female murder victims are killed by their spouse or a family member, right? And we should be far more wary of the men we know than random psychos in the midst of a sexual identity crisis? Before anyone gets offended just know that this is a statistical fact, not a personal affront.

[manfocused]

Seen this movie for the first time 10 yrs ago. I did NOT expect what happened at the ending to happen. When the movie went off, I just sat there in a daze. I could not believe what I just saw.

[dosware]

I was 16 when this was released- remember it being a controversial movie, but I never saw it until 2010. The gay subject matter was certainly radical for its time (i.e., males kissing), if not unusual now.

The ending remains very powerful/ disturbing 30 years later.

[scottmanduzy]

@dosware I concur!

[mrspatrickcampbell]

Homosexual richard gere looks so cute here. Too bad she has 'tinymeat'.

[DartmouthAlum96]

The murder scene at the end of this film chilled me to the bone the first time I saw it.

[scottmanduzy]

@DartmouthAlum96 Me too! Dont fuck withself-loathing closet homos who sniff amyl nitrate and have anger issues.

[MrAsilva125]

a good clasic movie from the 70ths i always wanted to see it but i was a kid now that i saw it grown up very good movie the ending is disturbing it took me all this time to see the movie lol love the 70ths

[gwalkerruns]

Why doesn't netflix or anyone else carry this movie?

[crownedpigeon]

@gwalkerruns you can watch it online on netflix

[LadyAmerican]

I believe it Netflix does via instant streaming.

[philipc67]

Does anybody know the name and artist of the song "I know I know I know I know I know...we can make it" in one ofg the dance bar scenes?

Please help.

[tialeetull]

backstabber

[cosmicrider287]

the o jays, backstabbers.ironic they put the godfather book in that scene.

[SuicideOnMyMind]

why ironic? the godfather book is in there cause it was also mentioned in the book this movie is based on.

[cosmicrider287]

@SuicideOnMyMind oh well, i wasnt aware there was a book.and by the time i saw the movie credits, it was after i comment on this clip.still ironic fact though,because keaton played in the godfather trilogy.

[disco1999]

Donna Summer - Try me, I know we can make it (Casablanca records 1976)

[argiropulo]

Donna Summer "Try me I know we can make it"

[scottmanduzy]

@philipc67 aint no sunshine when she's gone. bill withers?

[IconTC13]

I love this film. It's dark and disturbing, but it's one of those films that stays with you.

Over 30 years later, this film still raises debate. Some say it's an indictment of the hedonism of the disco era; others say it's a cautionary tale about young women roaming singles bars and that this film promotes the idea that sexually liberated women should be punished

The film is heavy-handed in some areas and is a bit didactic, but its based on a true story.

Visually and musically stunning.

[cymbeli]

@IconTC13 She wasn't just promiscuous..she was wreckless and careless. Its simple cause and effect. There are weirdos out there so don't open your door to them.

[scottmanduzy]

@cymbeli she needed to compensate for a youth racked with scoliosis and an overbearing demanding Irish catholic father played brilliantly by Richard Kiley!

[jerzeytpke]

@scottmanduzy You are SO RIGHT this is an example of how a parent can screw a kids whole life up ( And Im not a kid )

[scottmanduzy]

@IconTC13 Gere is great as a young hustler. I was 15 whe I fist saw this in theater and wanted to be him! Sonya bolonga come on down.....

[DanielTheWalrus]

@scottmanduzy Man, you don't know how lucky you were to be able to see those kind of movies in theaters...i envy you. They just don't make like these anymore.

[scottmanduzy]

@DanielTheWalrus I remeber as a fifteen year old going to see this and Taxi Drver, Mother Jugs and speed, Hardore and other R raterd films of the 70's. The visceral effect has lasted a lifetime.

[barzouf94]

@IconTC13

Totally agree with you!

[barzouf94]

@IconTC13

I love your analysis of the film, somehow I'm hooked on it.

[SonofBrunhilde]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Glodean6360]

@IconTC13 Great comment! I'll give you one more parable: it fits the AIDS epidemic; that having sex with strangers can kill you. Question, though: in his last scene the father asks the daughter: "Tell me, girl. How do you get free from the terrible truth?" Was he talking about anything more than his sister's death?

[aquabluegrl]

@IconTC13 As a woman I looked at it as a sign for single women to be careful when they go to bars.. and not just pick up any random guy not knowing if he is some psycho..there are many women out there that will get drunk and just take off with some guy they dont even know well..I think the movie was just sending a safety message.

[sassylatina808]

I just finished reading my glamour magazine. There's this story about women hooking up on the internet. They actually talked about his movie. I'm checking it out 'cause of it. Now, I'm more than intrigued. I wanna watch the whole thing now. It's a true story about a girl that actually gets murdered after picking up guys. SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lilmusicman13]

Just got the book. Had no idea it was based on a true story.

[Fabrashamx]

LOL In the beginning of the clip, you can see the book 'The Godfather' on the bar in front of her. She starred in all the Godfather movies. I love little inside gags like that in movies.

[17tangles1]

I was in my early 20's when this movie came out. Believe me, it scared me and a lot of my friends. Although I never went home with anyone I met in a bar, some of my girlfriends did. After this movie, no more. We were scared of all guys for awhile.

[Ncharlestun]

This clip is very poor quality, you can hardly see it.

[sixsixxsixxxx]

They blew it compared to the book..the movie/book was based on the real-life murder of Roseanne Quinn in 1973...google her and see what comes up or go to wikipedia...you'll get the whole story...thepoint was that the liberation women in the 70's ERA time got-basically acting like men and having the right to sleep with anyone and go to bars, etc...could have a dark side...I was too young but it probably scared a lot of young women off the bar scene for a while...read about Roseanne Quinn

[taildragger51]

sixsixxsxxxx: Yeah, yeah Roseanne Quinn..Roseanne Quinn...we ALL know about her. Tell us something new for Christs sake and stop pretending to be 'The Mark Of The Wild Beast! Yeah, i'm REAL scared! What an uneducated, immature jerk you are. Go learn about the Hays Code , Benjamin Spock and the countless books written on moral decline in the MODERN society. Only primitives talk about what occurred in Neanderthal times.

[SharonOsbourneFan07]

omg, i've been deing to see this film for ages!

any idea where i can watch it online?

i've tryed downloading the torrent but the quality it rubbish can't see anything?

could someone upload it?

please?

[gaadoutwat]

I love this film but damn the ending gets me everytime

[Baalsaack]

Anyone can tell me where I could find an ebook version of the book? I'm sure I won't find it in any Polish library and I'd like to read it.

[MondoBeno]

My parents lived right by the building where she lived (I mean the woman on whom this story is based).

I wonder if the point of this movie is that rebellious people can become addicted to danger.

[Baalsaack]

It doesn't necessarily have to have a point.

[683535]

good point!!

[annabellwells]

Wonderful actress, she was great here.

[mypuss77]

i still have this movie its one of my faves-diane keaton,levar burton,richard gere,and thelma houston,donna summer,and diana ross in the soundtrack!-killer movie and music!

[allyouneedislove137]

what link to buy on dvd

[TheDunHorse]

you can't get it on DVD

[miserabowl]

Top notch performances by Keaton, Weld and Kiley. First memorable roles for Gere, LeVar Burton(Roots) and Berenger. I read somewhere that after Warren Beatty became so "fascinated" with Keaton from seeing her in this film that he cast her in "Reds" and later became romantically involved.

[miserabowl]

This movie epitomizes the 70's NYC singles scene for the middle class.....the dark, lonely, isolated world of the pick-up bars. Can totally relate to someone searching for something...but not quite sure what.  In Theresa's case it was (unintentional?) self- destruction through sexual encounters..

[slmacph]

Of course she saw "The Godfather", Richard. She was in it.

[njb642007]

The author had removed what I had considered to be very important information. I don't know why this asshole

deleted in the first place. I think that really

sucks big time. if this isn't deleted. I have

the info to buy the DVD. later!

[njb642007]

how come content removed?

[yodavalentine]

one of my favorite movies minus the sadness, suffering, and killing. what a fantasy lifestyle, huh?

[bengaltiger96]

I didn't realize that back in the day, she was a hottie.

[amuricafuckyeah]

what a loser

[jache77]

takes one to know one!

[amuricafuckyeah]

hahaha what the fuck i dont remember why i said that. i think i was talking about diane keaton cuz you know in the end she gets. . . if you havent seen it i dont wanna spoil it but diane keaton is fuckin amazing and so hot

[KennyCertainly]

Why hasn't this film been released on DVD?

[njb642007]

I have found the dvd. but you will have to contact me if you want it.

[maryedeane]

no shit!!...why come?

[babaloula]

Great film but the end was a real shocker!

[dobby335]

GREAT movie!I have it on VHS.Dont think its ever been released on DVD.The ending always made me sad.

[njb642007]

I have the link to buy the dvd. if you want it.

Please contact me. thank you!

[david3taylor]

read the book and i loved it, if you could sen me that link i would me most gratefull!

[pawnthatpussy]

friends, countrymen, Roman-gay-ass-fuckers, don't laugh. This is the way it was.

[calmo78]

I really love this movie! I love Diane! She must win the oscar!

[9marbles]

I think that the last scene where that dude stabs her in the flickering light has got to be one of the most chilling scenes I have seen on film.Hard to beat that era of movie making,they were in a class of their own.Cherers for posting.

[TMA271]

After divorcing Michael. Kay Corleone went BAD.

[TheDunHorse]

Yh, she did...

:D

E.V.I.L

[acadia2431]

Great book by Judith Rossner.

[greeniem]

my god thanks for posting!

[TiaTea73]

I LOVE this movie!!!!!

[passjay]

me too, it is a must have for the collection!!

[pdonster2]

What a great movie! No studio would EVER release a film like this today...it would have to have a happy ending. Please release this on DVD!  Pronto!

[pulitzer8]

Diane Keaton robbed herself of an Oscar here.

She is much better in LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR than ANNIE HALL.

[Jenniferkate]

The movie was released in the same year as Annie Hall-I'm guessing Annie was more palatable than Goodbar.

[tuttt99]

"Annie" is the one that got her the Oscar.

[Boulderdevil]

Personally, I think Keaton "earned" the Oscar for the challenging role in Goodbar. Fortunately for the academy, they had Annie Hall to fall back on. A Woody Allen special (ditzy chick from the Upper East Side) is not nearly as scary as a pretty young teacher of children prowling the bars looking to get laid. In any case, two of my favorite movies featuring one of my favorite actresses. One of Richard Gere's breakout roles before becoming a leading man.

[artmenace]

You have to write Paramount, who holds rights to this to get it out on DVD.

[sillykatz]

then who was richard gere

[nyteq21]

the funny thing about this video is she is reading the godfather when she was in the movie the godfather also when will this be on dvd very hard movie to find awesome.

[JoeToxic]

Was it Tom Berenger that killed DK in the movie, TB was a closeted character or something like that. Saw this on tv when in 9th grade, it was riveting, and rented it later for VHS, or beta????

[ahoyal]

Yes TB WAS the killer.He was living with some some older homosexual guy but was in denial about it and thus tried to get with DK but couldn't "do it".Frustrated,he killed HER.

[LesbianVampireLover]

Classic film scene. This was the first time most of us had seen Richard Gere. Great soundtrack too, but apparently somewhat rare, $35 on amazon right now.

[vaneerden]

Did you notice she is reading The Godfather...Gere says "I've seen the movie" which DIane Keaton is in....Same self-reflexive comment in Annie Hall...Woody Allen says "I feel like I'm standing with the cast of "The Godfather"

[homerekker]

The lesson here is ....don't be a litlle DICKTEASE!!!!!!!

[christs78]

Great movie, very disturbing.

The sad part is that it is based on a true story.

[TheJadeFairy]

Never heard of that before.So it was based on an actual person who was murdered?She really was killed horribly at the end.Did they catch the guy that did it,in real life that is....

[NDrLoR]

"Never heard of that before.So it was based on an actual person who was murdered"

The 70's settled out to be the cesspool of the 20th century and destroyed many young people who had poor morals. Her name was Roseann Quinn and, altho a teacher, was a person of poor moral character who gave herself over to personal degradation. Many people live on in her tradition today--some homeless, most losers. We have friends with a son like that--50 and never owned a home or a car.

[homerekker]

Boy, those standards are fucked up. The seventies just allowwed people to "loosen up." Very cathartic.

[taildragger51]

TheJadeFairy; Yes, Judith Rossner (who died in 2005) based her book on the brutal murder of Rosanne Quinn which occurred in 1973. The murderer, John Wayne Wilson, met Quinn at a bar called "W.M. Tweeds" in NYC.(on Jan 1st, 1973). He took her home and stabbed her 18 times to the neck & stomach..then raped her. He was caught but hanged himself in his prison cell 123 days later.(May 5th,1973). Yes, the 70's cesspool was the start of rapid moral decline.

[EvangelinePearl]

Thank you

[sixsixxsixxxx]

the 70's was the START of "rapid moral decline"?! HAHAHAHA that may be the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Yeah, mankind' was moral for thousands of years till the 1970's! What an idiot!

[taildragger51]

sixsixxand whatever.... You may think i'm funny but modern Western society HAS changed rapidly since the 70s. Most sociologists, who know far more than you, have noted this. (I'm not being prudish here because i love films from ANY era) Just compare any film from the 1940s/50s to anything from the 70s---today. Back then every film HAD to end with the bad person being punished. Film buff John Osborne said this last night after the film "The Bad Seed". He should know.

[mmedefarge]

The Hayes Commission censored films in the 40's and 50's, which made for some pretty uninteresting films or a lot of innuendo & saying it between the lines (the sexuality in "North By Northwest" as a tongue-in-cheek example). But check out the movies made prior to the Hayes Commission, some of which could be quite ribald. The Hayes Commission pretty much put the kibosh on Mae West's career because of it's censorship of her as well as their censorship of the Marx Bros. & others.

[MauriceFlower]

I agree with you.

[mmedefarge]

LOL. Socrates decried the moral decline of the youth "back in the day"; he thought that civilization would soon end.

[punishguy]

I took my girlfriend to see this movie when it came out and we had not known eachother very long. Her Mother was stabbed to death unbeknowst to me. It still bothers me. I had to help her from the theater. What a damn jerk I was and am. The kiler was found though in her case. It was her 17 year old neighbor and he thought it was her, not her mother. He was part of the search team. So sad. My family did not know what the movie was about when we went. Sorry to vent.

[RK831]

Yikes! Certainly not the film to take such a girl out to, given the violent ending of the movie. However, if it was the first time both of you saw the movie, you were not reprehensible.

[gabrielharter]

wow!

[SonofBrunhilde]

It's ok. We forgive you, you mental patient.

[avgolden1974]

Damn good movie. So underated.

[KTSEROV2351]

diane keaton very good milf too

[KTSEROV2351]

ok didn't she make fun of the guys dick size and he killed her for that, i remember that is what my mom told me way way back when i was about 12 or 14, it ws on tv, i went to bed, and i asked her about the movie

[andysbear]

This is a great movie and good soundtrack.Definite sign of the times(70,s)the sexual revolution and no Aids, does anyone remember those days?????

[sixsixxsixxxx]

yeah, NO AIDS...just guys taking women back to their place, raping and stabbing them 20 times...but No Aids, thank God!

[taildragger51]

sixsixxsixx. I think you're getting heated up over nothing which proves your lack of knowledge. Nobody says what happened to Quinn was good. Also, just compare any large cities in this World with how they were 50-60s yrs ago. Are they safer? Check the time from which they started going downhill. In London, UK , back in the 50s, people never had to lock their doors. I know this because i was around then. Statistics have proved it. Go get an education whilst your young.

[MauriceFlower]

I hear ironyyy...

[catchersmitt0]

What's the lesson here, don't be coy?

[coolitababy]

I love the way he looks at her back and says 'You're OK'.

[Mogpiano]

As I remember it the death scene is filmed in an ever slowing strobe like light. Very disturbing. Great, very dark movie.

[57highland]

There actually was a strobe light in the room. When the struggle started, the strobe light got knocked over and started blinking. It had been a Christmas present a week earlier to Teresa (Diane Keaton).

[NormxJane]

i love this book and obviously the film

in that case i might not refuse either!

[michaeluae]

the bar where the real 'goodbar murder' victim met her killer just closed down last week, it was a local hangout in my neighborhood for decades.

[57highland]

Upper West side?

[michaeluae]

yes it was the all-state cafe on w. 72nd, which used to be called tweed's

[57highland]

Thx. The book "Crimes of New York" (chapter: The Annals of Manhattan Crime) says that she also lived on that block.

[belizeangial1970]

timeless movie.

[freedomtower2]

A CLASSIC!-very disturbing.

[railcar123]

Richard Gere was great in this movie. "Hey Teach"

[600SELV12]

yes it is disturbing, I was looking for it too

[yozzerhughes]

Has Richard Gere ever looked sexier? Thanks for posting.

[ghtp11]

Hey, can you post the death scene? my mom was telling me about it, and I'd like to see it.

[dereka79]

it's gruesome, it's ghastly, it's pretty damn good!

[epimetero]

diamine sto cercando questo film da un anno quasi...in tv lo censurano quindi non consiglio di registrarlo...spero che su sky lo trasmettano...peacelove
