This is a great movie--why don't more people know about it?


Really, it even won so many Academy Awards, you'd think more people would have at least heard of this movie. Admittedly, though, I only saw Marty because my mom found it at the library...

But it's such a sweet and touching film. There aren't many movies that show us what it's like the be the "loser," because, come on, who wants to see a movie about that? But it's those feelings of loneliness that I think people can most relate to. Plus it was done so honestly and fairly. Movies like this are rare.

My favorite part was when Marty's mom tries getting him to go out on Saturday night and to wear the blue (I think it was blue) suit, and he tells her that it doesn't matter if he wears the blue suit or the grey suit or whatever, because it will always turn out the same for him. I cried at that part.

I agree completely. I got set of classic movies. This was in it. I watched it. Now its one of my favorite movies.

I agree so much. I only got it, because it was in a set of classic movies, which had a Jimmy Stewart movie. It is now one of my favorite movies of all time. Movies like this are rarely made in Hollywood.
