What a waste of time...

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2003)

Just kidding. As far as pure Hollywood production goes, (top stars, director, screenwriting, subject matter) it is probably the best film I've ever seen. Lines from the movie are quoted as often as Shakespeare, and I would lay odds that literally each and every successful subsequent film maker has made a careful study of this work. I envy anyone who hasn't seen it for the first time. You'll only have that pleasure once in your life.
