Movies are the art form most like man's imagination.

Photography is truth. The cinema is truth 24 times a second.

You ain't heard nothin' yet, folks.

The cinema, like the detective story, makes it possible to experience without danger, all the excitement, passion and desirousness which must be suppressed in a humanitarian ordering of society.

Good movies make you care, make you believe in possibilities again.

The words "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," which I saw on an Italian movie poster, are perhaps the briefest statement imaginable of the basic appeal of movies.

We may be reaching the end of the era in which individual movies meant something to people. In the new era, movies may just mean a barrage of images.

Cinema is a matter of what is in the frame and what is out.

In good films, there is always a directness that entirely frees us from the itch to interpret.

The motion picture is the people's Art.
