Drivel part of the page: Over the last couple of weeks…we had been working on a Top 50 Stars 1950-2010 page. Diane Keaton was one of the actresses we picked for our list. Well, the wife was looking at the page and noticed that we did not have a UMR page for Keaton. She figured…. if we think she is one of the greatest stars of the last 60 years…. then maybe we should have a UMR page on her. So….since she made such a great point…. we now have a Diane Keaton page.

25 thoughts on “Diane Keaton Movies”
1 STEVE Thanks for the detailed feedback Steve – much appreciated as I usually learn something new and useful from your glimpses of how the Lensman wheels churn over.
2 I’m sure you won’t mind my placing you in such celebrated company as the Great Joel but your statement about the public not liking Something’s Gotta Give deserves its place alongside the Great Hyperbolic Ramblings of Mr Hirschhorn.
3 Hirsch famously said about Brando’s Napoleon that “nobody cared” about it but according to Joel’s disciple’s 1954 Annual Review Desiree grossed $242 million domestically in adjusted dollars and was ranked the 15th biggest hit that year. Jack’s Something’s Gotta Give has been credited by our own Great One with almost $180 million in adjusted dollars domestically and if that figures is applied pro rata to an actual worldwide gross quoted by Box Office Mojo the film grossed nearly $400 million overall in today’s money.
4 I’m sure many producers would like to have movies that were “disliked” by the public to the tune of that whopping figure! The good news for you though is if you keep making statements like that which I have quoted Bruce may start hanging onto your every word in the way that he does those of the all-seeing Hirsch!
5 For me the lesson is that whilst entitled to our own opinions buffs like you and me, those who follow IMDB and journalistic hacks like Hirsch should refrain from second-guessing the GENERAL public’s verdict about films that audiences flocked to see. I am reminded of Peter Jay a celebrated British economist who ultimately paid the price of continually telling his readers and TV Viewers what HE THOUGHT his uncle JAMES CALLAGHAN British Prime Minister from 1976-1979 was thinking about great matters of state and economics.!
1 Here are some reviews of Something’s Gotta Give –
(1) Something’s Gotta Give is mostly a smart, funny romantic comedy, with sharp performances from Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, and Keanu Reeves.
([2) The San Francisco Chronicle’s reviewer felt the performances of the film’s stars, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, were among their best, and that Nicholson’s acting, as his role covered a wider range of emotions, was the more complex. The reviewer praised the film for being a romantic comedy for adults:
(3)The adult romance is a dying genre in our era, but movies as wise and fun as Something’s Gotta Give have always been rare. It’s a comedy with hilarious moments, and yet with an essential seriousness at its core: Two people in the autumn of life find love.
(4) Roger Ebert describes the film’s dialog as “smart”. He praises the performances of Keaton and Nicholson: “A movie like this depends crucially on its stars. To complain that Nicholson is playing “himself” – or that Keaton is also playing a character very much like her public persona – is missing the point. Part of the appeal depends on the movie’s teasing confusion of reality and fiction.
2 Roger Ebert is also one of WH’s idols and there Bruce and I are in harmony. Certainly Roger and Joel must have been watching two different Mr Mumbles from parallel universes.
3 Sadly though one negative review from Hirsch would probably trump all of the positive reviews that I have quoted at least on this site. However I think that the fact that such reviews do exist illustrates the point that one must be cautious about making sweeping statements implying that especially a big box office success found little favour among the public and /or critics.
Hey Bob and Steve
1. Added Steve’s video to this page.
2. As for Somethings Gotta Give….it got a 71% from us….which means we are saying it is a pretty good movie….just it is in the company of so many good movies…that it fell down the rankings somewhat.
3. Thanks for all the mini-reviews.
4. Like seeing Mr. Ebert getting quoted…..as for Mr. Hirschhorn….Somethings Gotta Give was after 1983….so Joel….does not have any thoughts on the movie….I know…Bob…I am tearing up too…lol.
Bob, what Bruce is probably trying to say in a nice way is that Something’s Gotta Give is a good movie but there are so many better movies on the chart that it couldn’t help but plummet down the chart. [cue Bob grinding his teeth] 😉
HI STEVE It’s always good to hear from you and I appreciate your trying to clarify matters if you thought I was unsure in the situation but in fact I know quite well what The Great One meant and his point is quite reasonable. However my own broad points were-
(1) It is unwise to make sweeping statements like your suggestion that “the public weren’t that impressed” with t Something’s Gotta Give and Joel’s hyperbole that “nobody cared” about Mr M’s Napoleon [and the latter comment is where Joel DOES come into the argument because he certainly WAS alive when he came out with that nonsense!]
(2) We can’t say with any certainty what millions of moviegoers many years ago thought about any film and the only evidence we have of the level of approval of a flick is the box office figures and they don’t support your or Joel’s contentions about the two movie concerned.
(3) In fact the box office figures taken at face value suggest that the matter goes beyond hyperbole and that you and Hirsch were in fact plain WRONG. That’s not a new departure for him in my experience but your statements are normally sound.
(4) Regarding professional critical opinion it is normally possible in the case of great stars or good certain films to gather together critiques that contradict each other. Previously I presented a spread of favourable comments about Jane Russell that disagreed totally with Hirschhorn’s crucifixion of her.
(5) Generally I think we could benefit from a greater range of professional opinions being made available to us than has perhaps otherwise hitherto been the case
Oh and thanks for the share Bruce, mucho apreciado.
STEVE 1 I think I’m right in saying that with your Keaton video you have now profiled all of the really top players in the Godpop trilogy of flicks? Certainly Diane’s video is welcome in its own right as I have admired her work in not just the Godpop flicks [which could be argued was predominately a chauvinistic male-dominated franchise] but have also enjoyed her performances immensely in films like Nicholson’s Something’ Gotta Give” Manhattan, Annie Hall and especially [for me at least] Looking for Mr Goodbar.
2 She did well too to hold her own in her VARIOUS collaborations with Him whose Name Flora Does Not Allow Us to Speak. I counted 8 in the All Seeing One’s table above.. I also liked Diane in even the recent And so it Goes with Michael Douglas though that film was not well received generally and was seen by to again quote Burt Lancaster about one of his own flops audiences comprised of “Just Me and Kirk Douglas’ family”!
3 This time the Big Guy has got in first with not just a Keaton page but has paid great homage to her in his page on the 25 Greatest Actress 1950-2010 in which he lists Diane a high 11th. Any of your own regulars who like Diane should check out that 25 Greatest actress page to see Bruce’s detailed reasons for rating Diane so highly overall.
4 Anyway to the business of things regarding your video and my pick of the posters are Mrs. Sofel, Baby Boom, Morning Glory, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Crimes of the Heart, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Play it Again Sam. Although no doubt overall artistic ratings dedicated the order of play I was of course pleased to see Mr. Mumbles getting the final say among the men.
5 Excellent stills are (1) The Family Stone (2) with Nicholson (3) with a young Gere in Mr. Goodbar (4) with Beatty in Reds – I bet that despite the opening quote she found HIM “sexy” even when he wasn’t being funny! (5) with “Big Al” in Godpop 3 (6) all 3 with her real-life beau whose Name I Mustn’t Mention. Indeed looking at that at least physically ill-matched pair in your 3 stills reminded me of the song form the great Brit actor/musician George Formby “If women like that like men like that, Why Can’t women like me?!”
6 Yet another occasion when you and He Who Must Have the Final Say agree on all five of a star’s Top artistic movies so who am I to argue? However it slightly surprised me that you BOTH gave such relatively row rankings to Something’s Gotta Give. Oh how it pains me to always have to defer in these exchanges to the wisdom a couple of Philistines
Hi Bob, thanks for the review, info, trivia, comment, observation and recommendation, much appreciated. Glad you liked the posters and stills.
Not sure why Something’s Gotta Give has a low score on my chart, Bruce was a bit more generous. It has a 6.7 rating at IMDB so even the public weren’t that impressed with it. I did see it once but can’t remember much from it.
Looking for Mr. Goodbar’s score was hobbled by Leonard Maltin who gave it a low score. When I calculate the scores I do look at the overall scale of the ratings, so if one reviewer absolutely hates a popular movie I would usually ignore his low score otherwise the final score average would be completely out of sync with everyone else’s ratings. So in other words my ratings have the human touch and not thrown together by a cold blooded A.I. hell bent on taking over the world! Sorry I veered off course a bit there. Watched too much sci-fi.
The only Keaton/Allen film I didn’t include in the video was Radio Days in which she had a small role, that film was included in my Mia Farrow video.
As you noted Bruce and I have the same top 5, and similar scores for Godfather 1 & 2.
Five Keaton films scored 10 out of 10 from my sources – Reds, Manhattan, Annie Hall, The Godfather and The Godfather II. Four scored 9 – Marvin’s Room, Interiors, Sleeper and Play it Again, Sam.
Highest rated Keaton movie at IMDB is The Godfather while the highest rated at Rotten Tomatoes is Godfather II.
The ladies take a break while the guys will take over Decembers video output. The famous, the not so famous and the ‘who dat’? 🙂
Hey Dan. Thanks for the mini-reviews on And So It Goes and The Big Wedding. I think The Big Wedding might be a record holder. The first 4 people to speak in the movie are Oscar winning actors. Not sure any other movie in the history of movies can make that claim…..as for the movie…I agree it is “horrible”. I liked And So It Goes…..a nice reunion for Michael Douglas and Rob Reiner. Douglas has the showy role….but Keaton is also impressive the lead female role. Thanks for the comment and the visit.
