Keeps getting better

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2001)

I first saw this movie when I was 17 and a theatre usher working its premier. Between the great soundtrack, the beautiful time-period-perfect sets, the complicated but tight plot, this was, I was certain, the best movie I'd ever seen. Twenty-seven years later that still holds true. I have seen this movie not less than 300 times. It's well beyond perfect. It mesmerizes everytime. Its lessons ring truer as life itself brings more parallel experiences to one's attention as the decades roll by. Superior!
