Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature. One of the best lines ever!

Gielgud was 76 when he made Arthur, born 1904 and movie released 1981. Like every great cult movie so many actors turned down the part of Arthur and nobody thought it would do well so they let Dudley Moore improvise a lot as did the other members of the cast and it showed everyone had fun making it. I miss the strong smell of popcorn that you had back in the 80’s movies. It was about the experience of having a shared experience with other movie goers and less about the movie itself

Liza Minelli was such a doll and real, I love this movie, it has caring and feelings that movies of today are missing.

I thought they'd have shown the clip where Hobson said, 'Arthur, I'm frightened', and Arthur immediately gave him the basketball back to hold.

He was the heart, soul, spirit & light of the film.

Dudley Moore would be 85 today. John Gielgud was a serious Shakespearian actor who was also in War and Remembrance. This is his only comedic role.

Sir John Gielgud was the whole movie. It was sad when he died. He was like a father figure to Arthur and in the sequel he taught him a lesson in life

He was legit my favorite in the movie ..followed by liza,Arthur and Liza dad.

Why on earth did they remake it? Russell Brand wasn't a patch on the fantastic Dudley, and as for Gielgud, a truly great actor.

He taught Arthur how to live, how to love, and how to die at peace with it. One of the few times the Academy got it right in giving out an Oscar. Dudley was great but Sir John carried this movie. Did everything in it. Thanks to some amazing writing, he made you laugh, made you cry, and most of all made you think. Rarely in a comedy does that happen anymore. Nothing but raunch and gross out trash in today’s “comedy” flicks.

Just love how Hobson slaps him and tells him shit.... that's a true friend

“Usually one must go to a bowling alley to meet a woman of your stature” hahaha I love it

"I want to be younger" "Sorry, it's your job to be older" What an incredible movie, so funny and touching in equal parts.
