An all-time favourite. Amazing acting and, of course, music!

Absolutely wonderful and masterful. Tom Hulce as Amadeus is perfect. Not only is the story good, but I love Mozart. If only all movies could be this good.

A beautiful elegy to the mediocrity. An eternal theme that transcends issues like truth, history, and form. The greatest object of art on the subject.

It Was God

This is probably one of the best movies ever made directed by one of the most brilliant directors of all time. "Amadeus," based on the play of the same name by Peter Shaffer [who also wrote "Eqqus"], is incredible as it is terrifying. Salieri is one of the most insane of all the most insane villains. Its so incredibly good that I can hardly write any more about it, lest I dissolve the moment.

Amadeus' Life Makes for the Best Movie

Who would have thought that a story about a composer from the 1700s could be so good? Amadeus is funny, dramatic and exciting. Both Tom Hulce (Mozart) and F. Murry Abraham (Salieri) gave performances of a lifetime. Both were nominated for Best Actor and Murry won (too bad they both couldn't win -- they both deserved to). The movie won a total of 8 Oscars, including Best Picture.

This story, supposedly based on Motzart's actual life, but told from the perspective on Court Composer Salieri, Motzart's mortal enemy, is full of humor, politics, corruption, intrigue and revenge. This show has it all (even if you're not a fan of classical music).

Seen it dozens of times and love it!
