One of the best horror-movies ever made. Even better the the famous "Exorcist". Shelly Duvall in her best role, Jack Nicholsons impressive performance and Stanley Kubricks vision together result this thrilling horror-masterpiece. Kubrick atmosphere leaves a deep trace- the big and really scary rooms in the Hotel, the colors, the exterriors, the music, ... all joined in a exciting Stephen King horror- novel makes this film unique. Danny Lloyd and Scatman Crothers also deserve to be praised.

The ultimate legend of all movies. The movie that changed everything. Jack Nicholson appears after his first big role in "Chinatown" and shines. Milos Forman`s creation has to be praised- a mixture of drama and comedy fulfilled with deep emotions. Forman presents a whole new world, a world behind "the Wall". There is one enthusiastic person who tries to destroy, or better, avoid this barrier, but finally fails. Like the political scene in the middle 70`s in Europe, two different worlds separated, causing so much pain and trouble for a ordinary person. Inside "the Wall" the regime dictates and jepardizes the basic thoughts of democracy and freedom. Formans great talent to find a balanced story, which enters deeply inside of you; and a remarkable cast of Nicholson, Fletcher, DeVito and Redfield all together make a winning formula.

This film is the real prototype of all the modern movies made after it, from the "Rain Man", the "Deer Hunter" to the modern "Girl. Interrupted".

Forman and Kubrick led us into a new era of film, as the real leaders of modern Cinema.

This is the one of ten or tweenty movies you MUST SEE. 10 of 10

Well, this is not just some other freak and weird Roman Polanski movie, this is a trully amazing Thriller, a real masterpiece.

It was the summer 2001, I was at home and just wached a TV-show. Then I decided to take some of my Uncles old videotapes, recorded maybe before I was born. I am realy a big J. Nicholson fan so I choosed "Chinatown"...

First of all the cast-the "Great Jack" as J.J.Gittes in oen of his greatest roles, plays a young and handsome privat detective who gets involed in a complicated crime and murder. There is also a mysterios woman- Evelyn Mulwray played by Faye Dunaway.

Second- the story- the main story is followed by other happenings that seem not to be bandaged, but follow the make operation.

Third- Mr. Polanski done his job brilliant- this movie could easily be boring and too slow, but with Polanskis skill and abillity to project his thoughts, and the big help of R. Town the movie managed to score, and will be remembered as one of the best of all-times.

Highly recommended, 9 of 10
