To put it simply: Sunset Boulevard is one of my favorite films of all time and a true classic. May 31, 2008

I just watched "Sunset Boulevard" for the first time. I absolutley loved it. I usually stay away from "black and white" movies, considering they are not from my generation. The only other old movies I've seen are "To Kill A Mockingbird", and parts of "It's a Wonderful Life". This one interested me because I work in the entertainment industry and I like movies about Hollywood. "Sunset Boulevard" puts new movies to shame. The acting and writing back then were so different. This film was written so perfectly and beautifully. The scenes with Gloria Swanson were just what I like, bizarre and surreal. The characters were unforgetable, especially Gloria Swanson. She is my new hero, I absolutley loved her, she's my new favourite diva extrodinaire. I loved this movie so much I stopped it half way through so I can watch the rest of it when I buy it. It's on my new all time favourite films. May 26, 2008

I've heard so much about this classic film and I really don't know why it's taken me this long to watch it. Gloria Swanson is my new idol. She absolutely owned every scene she was in. The fact that this film still hold true to this day is a testament to the genius that was Billy Wilder. Great script, wonderful, wonderful acting and direction. Today we watch fading stars of the past, try to cling on to an audience-any audience by means of reality television-all still ready for their close-ups. Brilliant film. May 23, 2008

Fantastic movie. I fall in love with it more and more each time I watch it. The writing is well-done as is the acting. Powerful..and William Holden--what a voice! Def. worth the time invested to watch it--over and over. April 30, 2008
