Holy CRAP! I loved this film! I finally think I have committed William Holden to memory! For some reason, maybe he hasn't been memorable in the two other films I've seen him in... sorry, or maybe he just looked older or different!??

This movie is just unreal in so many ways! I hope you enjoy this reaction as much as I loved this film! I need to watch it again and hear all your thoughts on everything I may have missed!

Whoah! Good morning!!! (mid-day for me! :D ) Been psyched for you to see this since the day you started counting down the AFI! Can't wait to see what you have to say about THIS one! Ha!!!!

In the other THREE films you saw him in Ames 😂😂. Network, Wild Bunch, Bridge on the River Kwai. In your defense you didn’t like The Wild Bunch 😳 so you probably forgot to count it lol Oscar nominated for Best Actor in Network (which you saw), and in Sunset Boulevard….and Oscar Winner for best actor in Stalag 17 (which hopefully you’ll watch someday). He’s always been a very memorable actor to me and others. He WAS big, it’s the pictures that got small (to paraphrase Norma Desmond) Looking forward to watching this and being ready for my closeup!

Been so long since I've seen this gonna have to watch it again with you...I"ve long considered William Holden the Harrison Ford of his generation. Died a sad death in his LA condo in 1981....

Never bet against Billy Wilder. “Ace In The Hole” was his follow-up to this film — yet another masterpiece.

Loved this reaction, Ames! I'm sure your friends in the film industry would go bananas for this movie. Sunset Blvd is Billy Wilder's love letter/middle finger to Hollywood. Professor and film historian Joseph McBride, who worked as a screenwriter in the 70s, says that at first he thought it was a cynical satire, but when he got to Hollywood he realized it was a documentary. The script, performances, photography, and score are stunning. For my money, the reason movies exist is to create images like the pool shot and Norma coming down the stairs.

Ames, I'm really glad you liked this film so much. I recommend it to younger viewers all the time, but unfortunately some people believe there were no great movies made so far back in the past... before 1980, ha-ha. "Sunset Blvd" is one of my all-time favorites. Cecil B. DeMille, who played himself, actually directed Gloria Swanson in several silent films. And Erich von Stroheim, who played Max, was also a highly successful early silent director. In fact, the movie Norma screens for Joe that night in her house was "Queen Kelly" (1929), made by von Stroheim and starring Gloria Swanson. This film has so many echoes of the Hollywood past. It's like a love story to the industry — as well as a tragedy. Thanks for a great reaction!

Just finished watching, Ames, and I loved your reaction. I've seen it maybe 20 times over the years and it has lost none of its power to stun with dialog, visuals, acting, writing - the whole shebang. Watching you experience it for the first time and being able to appreciate it all was special. Thank you for a thoughtful and well-reasoned reaction.

Gloria Swanson was actually quite pleasant and down to earth when interviewed. She remarked that after this movie came out some people were actually afraid of her! There is an excellent British docuseries about the silent era of Hollywood from the emergence of motion pictures to the beginning of the talkies on youtube. This a link to an episode of that series that focused on Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino. She was an enormous star during the silent era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHiftU3olao&list=PLDRyHf3whQyxZhGK3YlOwkYkxdZA-gqrj&index=6 Great reaction to a great film Ames!

OMG I didn't know William Holden was soooooooooooo hot when he was younger. I didn't see him in a movie until The Towering Inferno and Network two great performances. There is a little film directed by Clint Eastwood called Breezy a 1973 romantic drama that received 3 Golden Globe Award nominations. It is one of Clint Eastwoods early directorial pieces. It's a cute little romantic film, hope you watch it someday :)
