It’s a huge bummer to realize your friend actually really sucks
Patrick WillemsJun 1, 2014You were born to be murdered. -Calloway Something incredible happens in The Third Man. From it's opening moments you know you're watching something special as you realize the music, cinematography and performances all meld together to not only create a masterpiece, but…

This is exactly like how The Smiths operate. The script and acting and direction and set design are Morrissey going “oh woe is me, laying flowers on James Dean’s grave while the vicar closes his dreadful eyes” and then the zither score is Johnny Marr going “hahaha shut up,…

- Bea likedThe Third Man
4/5⭐️ A true classic of film noir and suspense. The Third Man features outstanding performances from Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, and Alida Valli. Throughout most of the film, you’ll hear “The Harry Lime Theme”, even in the most unexpected moments. The movie has a subtle touch of humor, but at…
CvptvinHowdy is "meh" onThe Third ManThis has all the qualities of a great film, but man, I just couldn't get all that invested. It had me intrigued at first, but the random music that felt like a jump scare was the only thing that kept me interested lol. At least the performances were top-notch, though.
Haley Mastronardi is "meh" onThe Third ManI saw the scores for this movie and it had a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. But honestly, I don’t think it was anything to write home about. It was just fine and most of the time I couldn’t really follow anything they were doing. One time watch movie only.

A classic to be sure but I don’t love as much as most. Great performances and a well-structured mystery that plays out well. A score that can only be described as bizarre, a complete tonal mishmash that took me out of a few moments
Jacob Hall likedThe Third ManI don't think it's aged very well, but the influence is clear. Some really well shot foot chases, but honestly didn't get interesting until Orson Welles showed up.
Platypus Lord is "meh" onThe Third ManI need to watch this again and see if I appreciate it more. Too distracted the first time from all my family members walking in and out all throughout.
- Nothuman likedThe Third Man
Classic noir with great cinematography and performance from Welles, enjoyable story as well but the music kept on taking me out of it
Max Dubner likedThe Third ManClassic noir detective story with modern pacing something something is the new sex or whatever
Michael lovedThe Third ManStunning Cinematography, score, and performances blend into an incredible film noir. 9/10
