"The Apartment" (1960) Awesome Flick, Jack Lemon Rocks!

[Green Arrow]

So I saw The Apartment a couple of days ago, what a classy movie, it manages to stay light and fun, while not down-playing the issue it's speaking about which is using people. The film is about this guy(Jack Lemmon) who trying to move up the career ladder faster by letting his bosses use his apartment as a place to bring there girlfriends, problem is he falls for one of his bosses girlfriends(Shirly Maclaine) Jack Lemon plays his character so innocently and so likeable that you fall in love with him from the get-go, and Shirly Maclaine plays her part just right not too hammy and not too soft. I also like how they handle Maclaine and Lemmon relationship and how she falls for him not for what he does, but in one particular scene, because that's how love is. Man, Billy Wilder rocks, he gave us Some Like it Hot and Sunset Blvd as well.

Sunset Blvd was realllllly sllooowww though but it such an awesome movie. I also forgot to mention that "The Apartment" is beautifully shot, the black and white just really shines in this movie.
