A must for Downton Abbey fans and those who like Ryan Phillippe!

For its entertainment value alone, this is a keeper for me. I find so much subtly hilarious. (So okay, I have an odd sense of humor.) I suppose it is a critique of the upper classes that amuses me, but it has sound acting and good storyline. I give it a five star rating.

So this movie wasnt nearly as great as I thought it would be. It was very choppy, your left in the know throughout the whole movie. There were parts though that I liked but I dont think I will watch this movie ever again. I usually collect movies and re- watch them but I just dont think this will be one of them. If there were some actual conclusions I would be possible.

I love Gosford Park. Unfortunately this copy did have a scratch that ruined part of the movie for me, but I have seen it many times before and wanted to own it. I love Robert Altman movies, particularly his inside jokes on himself and his friends. This is the intriguing story of a double murder. The mother kills her husband so that her son does not have a chance to do it. Naturally the lowly new servant observes the play within the play and learns the truth. Ryan Philipppe gets to play a slimy American actor visiting the british countryside.

A subtle, complex, well-acted film that delves into the nuances of class warfare... plus a first class mystery! A great film.

I love period films and this one is spot on as you view English life from the servants point of view. It is so enlightening as to the invisibility of servants and the manner in which they treated each other.
Watch it over and over! Love it!

Another one of my all-time favorites. All those many, many nominations and awards were very well earned on this one. In fact, for my money, Maggie Smith should have been nominated for a lot more awards and should have won all of them. I have never seen more emotions conveyed so subtly, yet so eloquently, with a single glance, shrug or sniff. The woman is amazing!

The fantastic details, large and small, in this movie are too numerous to list. Suffice it to say, that you come away with the feeling that you have lived in Gosford Park and would like to again. The cast is stellar, the score and wardrobe are perfect and the script is very, very smooth. There is tension and there are lots of really good laughs. One of my favorite lines is when one of the American visitors grumbles at the head chambermaid: "You Brits have no sense of humor!" To which she quietly replies: "We do if it's funny, sir."

The Writer once (separately) asked the opinions of an American and of a Brit, after they had seen the movie. The American said he felt he had just witnessed the terrible injustices of that era, done to the lower class by the upper class. The British spectator said he had just seen a lovely, accurate recreation of a time long ago that he wished were still around. The writer said that, when he heard those reviews, he knew he had created a hit.

I, for one, can not recommend this movie highly enough. I can't imagine how there come to be so many copies available in the system. Unless, everyone else already has one too...?

This is your "set the bar high" type of Brit whodunit. Except the "Inspector" seems to be the only "clueless" one, as I recall.
