I love this movie so much

Absolutely Brilliant!

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Uncompromising and with without a doubt one of the most downbeat endings in the history of Movies, THE MORNING AFTER is about as powerful as they come. Richard Matheson deserves his share of the credit, to be sure, but it's leading man Dick Van Dyke's tour de force performance as a man determined to destroy himself that makes this one one for the ages. (Lynn Carlin, an underrated actress I've always liked, deserves mention as well as the long-suffering spouse.) Anyone who's ever had to deal with Alcoholism in any way (And who hasn't...?) will appreciate the frankness of the filmmakers. I know I did. While I wouldn't recommend watching this one while you're depressed, I WOULD highly recommend it to Anyone and Everyone with an Addiction.

I too saw this movie as a kid, I was only eleven years old and it made such an impact on me that i thought i would never be a drinker...and here i am both my parents were drinkers and both dead :( And i saw some things and behavior that was very disturbing to me and also very similar to some of the behavior in my own life now. When I'm feeling like my drinking is starting to get out of hand this film is the first thing that enters into my mind especially the end... I recall the chilling and sad feeling i got at the end of this movie as a kid, I believe this keeps me in check, don't misunderstand me I'm a very fit and successful man and father but we all have our demons and drinking and its devastation is not limited to its victims; rich or poor, fit or fat, married or single, this film puts it all on the line... the power of alcohol! I have only seen it once many years ago! but what an impact!! This should be available to the public and all who struggle especially those in AA groups! come on this needs to be released, how can we get this done? I really just want a copy of it for myself, but i think about the impact that this movie could have on the many people out there struggling just like that and like me. what an amazing performance, absolutely memorable!!! If anyone has a copy or knows how to get one let me know please! Steve, 714-655-0284 Peace and many blessings...

Like many of you, I saw this movie many many years ago. I was probably 14 or 15 years old when I 'stumbled upon it'. Anyway, my father was an alcoholic and had died just a year or so before. As I watched this movie I saw my father in the role of Charlie Lester. I have never forgotten this movie. I am now 5+ years into my own recovery from alcoholism and would very much like to see it again, or even better, to own a copy of this extremely powerful movie. And like most of you, I cannot hear "Yesterday" (Beatles version only) without seeing Charlie (or my father) standing in front of the mirror watching himself lose the battle. I don't think that I have ever heard a more appropriate song in a movie...even ones written FOR the movie.If for no other reason, this movie should be released as an educational tool for those who are trying to overcome and deal with this most unrelenting and overpowering disease know as alcoholism.

I saw this movie as a child. My mother insisted my brother and I watch it. My father is an alcoholic and has never recovered. I am now in recovery. This movie had an unbelievable impact on me as a child. I cried so very hard when I saw it, and as another person commented, I can not listen to the Beatles song "Yesterday" without thinking of that poor desperate soul. I need to see this movie!
