"Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not the subject of the film." ― Roger Ebert Topic(s): Movies More From Roger Ebert "Movies absorb our attention more completely, I think." "If a movie is really working, you forget for two hours your Social Security number and where your car is parked. You are having a vicarious experience. You are identifying, in one way or another, with the people on the screen." "If a movie isn’t a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy." More In Movies "I always watched movies and rooted for the bad guys, you know? I’ve always been that kind of guy. I still hold some respect for criminals that are good at their jobs."― Justin Townes Earle "My favorite characters are the ones that are the most successful movies."― Christopher Walken "People are out of their home on a Saturday night or they’re at the movies or they’re at dinner and a lot of the people who flip on the television are doing just that. They may have never seen your show before and you can’t count on to your audience to be there week in and week out."― David E. Kelley
