I adored ROMAN HOLIDAY. The concept is a no-brainer: put two of the most beautiful people on Earth together in one of the planet's most beautiful cities. The genius, however, is in the execution. There are no false notes in this movie, and I found it to be a refreshing counterpoint to the popular notion of the paramount importance of romantic love.
I saw this one on the couch with my wife and child. When it was over, my child immediately wanted to see it again. Before he went to sleep, asked if we could keep the movie forever. "Why?" I asked.
"It's my favorite movie. It's even better than GODZILLA."
So there you have it, folks. Better than GODZILLA. Praise just doesn't get much higher than that.
