Released in 1971 to critical acclaim and public controversy, The Last Picture Show garnered eight Academy Award® nominations (including Best Picture) and was hailed as the most important work by a young American director since Citizen Kane. A surprisingly frank, bittersweet drama of social and sexual mores in small-town Texas, the film features a talent-laden cast led by Jeff Bridges (The Mirror Has Two Faces), Cybill Shepherd (TV's "Cybill") and Timothy Bottoms (The Man in the Iron Mask). Cloris Leachman (TV's "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") and Ben Johnson (Rio Grande) each won Oscars(r) for their work in supporting roles. This modern classic is a must-have for every movie lover.

Kathy Fennessy

If the sequel is a mixed success, The Last Picture Show, particularly in this restored version, holds up like gangbusters. It's truly one of the finest films ever made about small-town America.

Battleship Pretension

Scott Nye

The key arc that all three of its young protagonists – Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), Jacy (Cybill Shepherd), and Duane (Jeff Bridges) – go through is the realization that they have the power to hurt other people.

An American classic in every sense.

Because of its loose structure, the even focus on detail, and the remarkably free hand of the director, The Last Picture Show is the brilliant realization of the most important new tendencies in American films.

Because of its compassion, its intelligence, and its artistic integrity while dealing with what is part nostalgia, The Last Picture Show may be one of those rare "instant classics."
