Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

elvircorhodzic Tales of One Thousand and One Nights. The world is simply magical. I could not say that the movie THE THIEF OF BAGDAD magical. In the year of his production is special. Group director is based on the story of the legendary Queen Scheherazade made one nice movie. A pleasant world with a somewhat special effects and "blue screen" certainly attracts attention.The artistic touch of director Michael Powell is visible. The film is certainly not bad, of course, is not cheap. Arabian Nights may not look cheap. The atmosphere is good. The acting is solid. This is a remake of a silent film of the same name. Because innovation Rosza did a great soundtrack.Given the background story can not be that bad. The effects of the target alternate. Flying Carpet would be the highlight. Sabu (Abu) and Conrad Veidt (Jaffar) They have left their mark. I do not think solely on acting but the characterization of their characters. Romance in the film, was pale. It is not derived as a result of worse acting. Simply, It did not give enough attention. The Thief of Bagdad is just a nice movie.

A_Different_Drummer Yet another film where reviewers seem a bit shy about going for the high numbers. This production came out of left field even by the standards of 1940 and was not only brilliant then, it is brilliant now. How is it possible for a project almost a century old to hold up against CGI today? Maybe it really is magic. There are elements here that are unforgettable -- the genie, who yearns for nothing but to be free ... free ... free. The evil magician who does hesitate to kill or tamper with the mind of the heroine. The use of mechanical/magical devices is especially memorable because these paradoxes were indeed part and parcel of the "arabian nights" mythology and remain as big a mystery today as they were centuries ago. Agree with those reviewers who insist that this movie has never been equalled. True. A one-of-a-kind, fun for old and young, and highly recommended.

Armand Special cast. Great special effects. And a remarkable show. In few words - a real delight. For the science to give the spirit of Arabian Nights. For unique Sabu. For the chemistry between characters. For support in Oriental dreams. For sent the flavor of art to tell unforgettable tale. For magic in pure form. For remember old plays and spectacular fights. For lost heroes with brave heard and loyal friend. For a Bagdad behind Saddam, wars and terrorism. And for fabulous Rex Ingram, a genie without any comparison. Childish, heroic, nice, at few new view it is an event. For soul and imagination. And special effects, o la la ! In the age of 3 D , after adventure of Star War, The Thief of Bagdad is the best. Joy in pure form, it is one movie who must see you.

Rectangular_businessman This is simply one of my favorite fantasy films of all time. Not many movies are so magical, so charming and so imaginative as this. I can clearly see the influence of this movie in many movies that came later, but not many of them were as good as this one. "The Thief of Bagdad" had everything that you could want from a fantasy films: An exciting, unpredictable story, charming and likable characters, and an incredible, beautiful atmosphere and incredible visuals (That still look pretty good)I wish there were more movies like this. I would give this movie eleven stars if I could. I highly recommend it to anyone!
