	Sleeper (1973) - IMDb user comments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		All in all, `Sleeper' was a very funny farce on science fiction stories, and it cemented Allen's ability to be an engaging and funny in his films.
		The humour of "Sleeper" is often directed against figures from the sixties and seventies- perhaps too much so, as this type of humour tends to date very quickly.
		Never a film to be taken seriously, it has all the elements of a cult film, with the exception being that because it's a Woody Allen film, it's been pushed more into the mainstream.

	Sleeper hit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A film might also gain sleeper status through critical or industry recognition, as was the case with Babe, an unassuming children's movie that surprisingly garnered seven Academy Award nominations.
		Since they aren't expected to do tremendously well, sleeper films often lack the sort of pre-release advertising given to the big budget films that are expected to become blockbusters.
		Sleeper books are usually released by an unknown (often first-time) author, are not widely publicized on release, and may not sell well at first.

		It is a consistently funny film with sharp political barbs espousing the philosophy that Allen has maintained to this day, but it is much funnier than a lot of his more recent efforts and is free of those later films' pretensions.
		The film becomes a comedy of errors, as Miles tries to fit into a society that is exactly the same as his old one except with more futuristic devises (except for a trusty VW bug).
		Sleeper is quite dated, as all science fiction films do, but this does have some homosexual and Jewish gags that might not be included today even though they aren't particularly politically incorrect.

	The Tufts Observer Online - News - Film Series: Tufts' Own Sleeper Hit
		Film Series also hopes to show a few foreign and independent films this season, such as The Triplets of Belleville, Garden State, and The Fog of War.
		This is the result of a less than precise transition from one film reel to the other on the part of the projectionist, who has only about a second-long margin of error with which to work.
		In the past, Film Series has done screenings for the German department, and he is hoping to attract the French department’s interest in a Triplets of Belleville screening.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Fall 1992: MOVIE HIGH
		The two most exciting things in the world of film are gay cinema and fl cinema, both of which are very alive and haven’t been – filmmakers and film viewers who haven’t been empowered are being empowered and they have a lot to say.
		I had one studio exec say to me, "We don’t make films like this anymore." Their costs are so high, the PandA is so high, that they leave these films to the independents and then either pick them up or don’t.
		Each film is about the epilogue and if I could have just filmed the epilogue I would have been fine – but of course I had to make the film in order to have the epilogue.

	Amazon.co.uk: Sleeper [1973]: Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sleeper is definately one of Woody Allan's greatest films, it is just ridiculous from start to finish, each scene holding something completely new and unexpected, but equally enjoyable.
		There are echoes of 'Sleeper' in a myriad of films even today (The Matrix for example), and the 'deeper' issues raised by the film are as relevant today as they were back in '73.
		Sleeper is particularly heavy on visual, slapstick comedy, alot of which is brilliantly funny, not least because Allen himself looks like a total space-cadet.

	Sundance Film Fest adds glitter, glamour to Utah ski resort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Critics say this setting, the one that Robert Redford nurtured in the name of independent film, is ironically similar to the one he once disparaged.
		At the time Redford was recounting how he felt when approached by organizers of Sundance's predecessor, the U.S. Film Festival, with a request that he lend his talents to their struggling production.
		Understandably, discovering that the film you wanted to see has been sold out can be discouraging, as can be standing for hours in a "Wait List" line.

	Sleeper
		A self-educated film nut, he began selling jokes to the many show-biz columnists in the New York newspapers when he was still in high school.
		Sleeper is a transitional film, between those that are closer to Allen's stand-up routines, and his more serious comedies.
		The elaborate sets and props caused the film to run behind schedule and over budget; the final edit, condensing 35 hours of footage to just under 90 minutes, was finished two days before the opening.

	Sleeper Cell \| PopMatters Television Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Sleeper Cell is compelling television primarily for its excellent performances and chilling premises, rather than its plots.
		Still, Sleeper Cell has more than its share of smart, affecting moments, having to do with the conflicts it establishes between the achingly earnest Darwyn and his many loyalties.
		Or Dar's second commander, Patrice (Sonya Walger), tough and supportive in unexpected ways, though she does have to engage in the usual turf-fighting with the boys of the LAPD (cop: "Fuck her," says the cocky cop after she leaves the room.

		To a degree I thought that this might be a sequel of sorts, after he’d broken down and decided to head off to college to do something with his life.
		Herr Werner is recruited to spy on Farid; a co-worker who is suspected of being a member of a Muslim sleeper cell.
		I’ve been really enjoying the German films this year; this one as well with its solid story, somewhat morose tone, and the fact that it’s straight forward with the audience.

	Cult Movies, Cult Films
		A cult film is a film that attracts a small but devoted group of obsessive fans or one that has remained popular over successive years amongst a small group of followers.
		Sometimes the audience response to a cult film is somewhat different to what was intended by the film-makers, although usually a film that becomes "cult" started-out with unusual elements or subject matter.
		Cult films are usually strange, quirky, offbeat, eccentric, oddball, or surreal, with outrageous and cartoony characters or plots, garish sets and they are often considered controversial.

	Sleeper (1973)
		Sleeper (1973) is Woody Allen's science-fiction satirical comedy classic and screwball comedy about the future - with Dixieland and swing music.
		Filled with one-liners, Allen's film both satirizes the 1970's and parodies sci-fi books and past classics, such as Buck Rogers "Serial" (1939), Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and A Clockwork Orange (1971), George Lucas' THX 1138 (1971), George Orwell's futuristic novel 1984, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.
		One sly cameo is that of Douglas Rain as an evil computer near the end of the film, gently spoofing his role as HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and Mike Myers' Austin Powers series owes a debt to this film.

		This little known film by Alfred Hitchcock is the story of a dead body found in a small New England town where everyone seems to think they had something to do with the murder.
		A film with a great cast and a great concept that works well right up to the ending.
		This Bryan Singer film has a great mysterious feel to it and the plot mystery holds for just about the full 106 minutes.

		But usually in the films I've done, the character sees the picture for a moment--Wade Whitehouse sees the picture, he has to kill his father, but Bob (laughs), Bob never sees the big picture--he doesn't get it.
		Right, right--the film is set before the invention of the auto-focus device on cameras so the title is sort of a play on that word--something that literally means "self-absorption."

	Sleeper Film Review
		Sleeper is a 1973 Woody Allen film, one of his screwball comedies that was a box office hit in its day, and would mark the coming of the power of Allen over East Coast American audiences.
		It's a film that makes you enjoy film for enjoyment, rather than dissecting every scene for hints about the director's mood and stool composition.
		I took my younger sister to see Sleeper and Bananas at the movies, and she's blamed me for her perverse sense of humor ever since.

	CRIME AS TRAGEDY: LIGHT SLEEPER, ONE FALSE MOVE
		For one thing, cities (where gangsters usually take up), have been with us since film began, and have become increasingly prevalent (as opposed to the vanishing frontier, which is probably one reason why Westerns are no longer a major force).
		Schrader's film here echoes that earlier film in that it's about a man who is trapped, he feels, by circumstances, and attempts to get out.
		That film, however, seemed overly fascinated by surfaces, and while the role may have intended to be similar to Travis Bickle, Richard Gere played him as a self-satisfied stud.

		It felt like the film was wandering aimlessly in the desert as some sort of tribute to those who wandered for 40 years, as it took forever to develop into anything recognizable as a meaning.
		For the first act of the film, I’m left with a bit of a question about whether the clippings of a missing girl are actually about his own daughter; maybe she’s a complete figment of his imagination.
		This film is comprised of footage shot in one week in September 2004 as a new music director took over as head of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

		Loosely based on H.G. Wells' novel WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES, the film features a strong parodic bent, particularly of the type of science fiction that was being written and filmed when it was made in 1973.
		However, SLEEPER was still considered a strong work of science fiction, winning both the prestigious Hugo and Nebula Awards, which are given to the finest works in the genre.
		SLEEPER was filmed on location in California and Colorado.

		And as he watches the whole film, laughing throughout, he first begins to consider being a filmmaker.

		Some film critics have panned the movie as a disjointed collection of buzz-concepts, but it clearly has a solid fan base.
		The film, which has earned the nickname "What the Bleep?" has been playing at the Catalina since May 14 and is scheduled to remain there at least until Thursday, though audience enthusiasm could result in an extended stay.

		Fortunately, 50 years later, the film proved to be a well-crafted and bleak urban tale about an angry young man stuck in the ghetto who slays a priest during a rage over his inability to pay for his Mother's funeral.

	My Entry for Peter Reiher's 1998 Summer Blockbuster Contest
		Banderas is, of course, perfect for this film, and even if he's not quite a blockbuster draw (nor, for that matter, is Anthony Hopkins), I anticipate that with the good early word on the film and the successful marketing campaign, the film should fare reasonably well against some impressive competition come July.
		The film has a built-in audience, but it may also be (or at least have the perception of being) restrictively cumbersome for those unequipped with an intimate knowledge of the TV series.
		Hercules appeared to be a return to the sort of audience-friendly, non-message-oriented Disney animated films which were wildly successful with audiences before their missteps with Pocahontas and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame; I thought it would pull them out of their doldrums, but the string of Disney disappointments continued.

		Drawing on the great tradition of silent comedy, Sleeper is Woody Allen's first film to tame his verbal wit and showcase his emerging skill with visual and physical comedy.
		With mother-daughter book clubs across the country making "Sisterhood" a first choice vote, Brashares was elevated to the same prominence Judy Blume has enjoyed for many years as a storyteller who connects, in particular, with women of all ages.
		By the time the film Sleeper went into pre-production Woody Allen had been established as a director who had complete control over his work.
