Is this what is called a "great movie"

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2007)

The event happened in history. All know what happened. I saw the movie umpteen number of times. Every time I watch now, I know what happens next. Still, when it comes to the 3 minute wait towards the end of the movie,I keep my fingers crossed expecting the miracle to happen. At the end of 4 minute 30 second wait, when odyssey responds, the significance of the "moment" is summed up by the expression in Ed Harris eyes. MAN SECCEEDED IN FAILURE. It is this kind of movies we call great movies because even after so many years when one thinks of them, one can "feel" the situation. Shawshank redemption, Forrest Gump, Cast away, Gone with the wind, The Pianist, Schlindler's List to name a few.
Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, Ron Howard, and TOM HANKS wow what a combination. MUST HAVE THE DVD.
