  • "I said i want the truth!" "You can't handle the truth!"

  • @BLICKSTEINHUGHES good taste for your age =)

    keep it....

  • @TheNostaglicFlower How come at the end of the movie the guy says to Jack, "Forget it. It's Chinatown" ? I didn't get that. What did he mean by that?

  • So want to get this movie on dvd.

  • Golden age of broad smacking brought me here. LMAO!!!!

  • I am 12 and this is my favorite movie. Doesn't this tell you something...Chinatown is the best movie!

  • This was the second and last American film Polanski made. Imagine how many more films he could have made in America had it not been for that sex scandal. Hell, maybe that girl could have had a successful career as a young actress. Unfortunately, both the girls' and especially Polanski's reputations are forever tainted.

  • Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

  • This is one of my all time favorite movies.A great script,a great cast,a great movie.

  • @dndrequiem ha! it does sound like him your right!
