Still my fav. I laughed from opening credits to the end. MY #1 comedy of all time. I've seen it soooo many times I know the entire script word for word LOL!!!
At the time Arthur came out in the theaters in 1981, I was 12 years old and being raised in an abusive, dysfunctional household. As a result, I turned towards watching LOTS of TV and went to the movies as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery. Back then I was going to the movies with my then best friend. We were a couple of fanatics about the movies. We talked, read, ate, drank, and slept the movies. And we went to the movies together once a week, every week for a lot of years from the 1970s-1980s. We saw literally hundreds upon hundreds of movies over the years. We tried to see every new movie that came out regardless of plot, genre (he loved horror films, I preferred comedy), critics reviews, who was starring in it, etc. So there was no particular reason we went to see Arthur. It just happened to be a new movie that was just released. As much as I loved the moviegoing experience in itself, as an abused, neglected child, there were a small handful of movies that hit me in the very right places at the very right time. Arthur was one of those movies. Right from my very first viewing, it quickly became one of my all time favorite movies and remains that to this day. In the years following, whenever Arthur popped up on tv, I'd drop everything to watch it. Today I own the movie on DVD. So, I say to the cast and crew of Arthur, from the bottom of the heart of an abused boy, thank you all so very, very much.
My favorite part is when Bert is basically threatening him and Arthur's main focus is the dead moose on the wall. Hilarious! They do not make them like this anymore!
If ever there was an example of stealing a movie, Gielgud stole this one. BTW, he did not want to do the movie. They kept on offering him more and more money and he said OK.
I love his laugh.
One of the funniest movies ever-with hidden depth and pathos. So may one liners...fabulous and still is 40 years later...

One of the best comedy scripts and acting of any movie I've ever seen

I can’t even remember who my parents wanted me to marry! I’m ❤️💋 obsessed with Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran!
This movie doesn't even need to be broken down.

Great insight thnx G68
And I'm so glad he accepted. I cannot imagine anyone else conquering this role beside Sir John Gielgud. This movie is loaded with witty comic lines.

SISKEL AND EBERT OVERHERE. 😝
A real woman could stop you from drinking it would have to be a big woman epic
