Utterly charming, with a sweet, funny, and tender story and likeable leads.

A great cast and a nice reminder that rich white guys are terrible. The entire premise falls apart if you consider that hotels cost like $3. I saw this on 온라인카지노추천 when I was a kid, the only thing I retained was a memory of straining pasta through a tennis racquet.

A brilliant story. Heartwarming, witty and funny, while also tackling the significant mundane problems of life.

Beautifully filmed, beautifully acted. A must see.

Yeah... this didn't do it for me. In fact, it was frustrating to sit through. I am actually surprised this movie came out when it did. This was back in the day when parents in sitcoms slept in different beds. Nothing wrong with the production quality or storytelling, the story just bothered me on a cellular level.

Great movie. I did enjoy a lot.

There can't be anything said that hasn't already been said. It's striking, charming, clever and so perfectly written. Wilder's best.

A great story, doesn't shy away from any deep and dark topics. While there is no happy beginning or middle, the end does satisfy. Put on your Christmas watchlist.

The Apartment - 10/10. What a sweet and dour film. Bittersweet to its core, and surprisingly heart felt. The Apartment follows a lovable pushover/loser (played ever so brilliantly by the late great Jack Lemmon) who just so happens to be the holder of the apartment for mischievous happenings in his apartment. Wanting a promotion and not to be a troublesome sore to his cheating bosses, he lends his apartment to them to continue their toxic behavior, while he sadly has to mope and bide time till their done. But fate has him tied up with his boss and the elevator operator/mistress (played amazingly by the effortlessly charming Shirley MacLaine). What's incredible about this film is how far ahead in time this story is. I'm actually a bit shocked a movie of this nature was made in its time. Its beautiful in showing how this sweet individual, who just wants to be loved and good to the world, ends up being used and pushed around. Beautiful in a sense when the final portions happen, where he finally gains his spine and does things his way, it makes for a triumphant emotional experience. Also, loved the way the movie makes connections to lines and convos from earlier in the film, its so nicely done and never feels forced or out of the norm. This also happens to be, in a strange and odd way, a beautiful melancholic christmas/holiday film. It shows you how human connection (genuine, human connection) matters. And how that said connection can help save a life (literally), give hope to one, and also make you realize that you should stand up to greedy individual and make sure they know your morales and mentality are never compromised. I got super emotional here, cause I too have gone through moments in life where I unknowingly (and knowingly) have been used. So at the end, when the happy ending came to the lovable character, it gave me hope. We all deserve happiness, whether it be during the holidays or not. Good people don't finish last: they just have more beautiful stories. Never compromise your soul folks. It's what makes you, you!

Can I give it 10 stars? Billy Wilder’s 1960 comedy romance is at once prescient, tender and heartbreaking all at the same time. Before most people even knew the term ‘sexual harassment’, writer-director Billy Wilder was giving us a film that skewered the world of corporate sexual escapades and extra marital trysts. Not only does THE APARTMENT inform the audience about the goings on behind closed office doors, but it also entertains by giving us the story of two young people over their heads in a world of sharks. Can Baxter and Miss Kubelik escape the soul numbing world of corporate sexual harassment and back handed payoffs to find true happiness? See THE APARTMENT to find out.

Incredibly entertaining film. I saw this when I was young and the feeling still stands today - MacMurray is a pro - a machine unlike anything I'd seen- in his performance.

Cozy feel of classic Hollywood on a cloudy day🫶🏻. It’s charming and tender, ultimately more melancholy than romcom if you ask me, but strikes a difficult balance of emotions and captures them perfectly. Kind of like smiling to stop from crying but in movie form. Shirley MacLaine is spectacular. Also working in an office pre cell phones and AI looks so fun🙃. “Well that’s just the way it crumbles. Cookie wise”

Movie-wise, there has never been anything like "The Apartment", love-wise, laugh-wise, or otherwise-wise!

Fantastic movie with no wasted time! I found it to be very ahead of its time.

Simultaneously touching and razor sharp. Not to be missed. Billy Wilder always delivers.

I don't think I've ever seen a movie that blends comedy and drama together so seamlessly and beautifully. Although 60 years old, this motion picture holds up beautifully and gets exactly right what 99.9% of its followers have gotten wrong. This is indeed a timeless film, and as I continue my odyssey through all the Best Picture winners, I'd be shocked if this doesn't rank among the very top of the heap. The cast can't be improved upon, and the two leads give arguably career best performances. MacLaine, in particular, is revelatory here and achieves a beautiful combination of strength and vulnerability. When she's onscreen it's virtually impossible to look elsewhere. Sparkling dialogue, scenes alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, pitch perfect direction and editing - this is what happens when everything falls into place, and it deserves to be considered a classic!

Wilder's masterpiece and true gift to storytelling is the making light of the sleazy, ugly and selfish aspects of human nature. The chemistry between Lemmon and MacLaine is palpable as you root for the salvation of two souls.

There are so many things to love about this movie, Billy Wilder's screenplay and Shirley Maclaine's performance chief among them. In many ways, I think the execution was basically flawless. Despite that, I found myself a bit bored at several moments - I think the premise is just somewhat lacking, and no amount of perfect execution can make up for it. I think it might've drawn me in more if we spent more time with our leads, developing their connection through dramatic dialogue. I also struggle with the nice-guy trope that is CC... he's ultimately sort of underdeveloped and we don't spend a lot of time with his moral dilemma. He spends a lot of time helping Sheldrake at Jubilee's expense, but we're supposed to think he's a good guy the whole time. If the looming loss of a job felt more realistic and threatening, I may have accepted this behavior, but it wasn't discussed enough, leaving him feeling very yucky to me.

Don't kill yourself, that's so childish.

Great story about a guy who lends out his New York City apartment to his work superiors in exchange for continued promotion at the company. What could go wrong?
