So low..

Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2005)

What a masterful piece of art this film is! Visuals and sound alone, it is a movie buff's dream. But the number of memorable characters (Alex, Dim, Deltoid, etc..) and a story that is more relevant now than when it was released, rank this movie among the best of all time.
I'm a little surprised it appears as low on this list as it does. Surely, no one truly believes that ALL THREE LoTR movies were better than Kubrick's finest masterpiece (sorry, Strangelove, it's true). In fact, there are MAYBE five movies better than this one ever, all of which were directed by either Scorsese, Kurosawa, or Kubrick himself (I don't think so, but one could make the argument).
Shawshank Redemption... Ph.. drivel.
