I must have blinked

Rating: 4/10 (18 October 2009)

and missed the point(s) of this film. I think I saw it back in 1986 in film class...and presumably fell asleep (no offense Orsy, that was the beauty of film class). Then I saw it again in a hip, small, theater in my "I love films (not "movies")" phase back in 2001 and pretended to get it. Saw it again a few years ago in what I now realize is the best of situations; hungover, reclined, and full of delivery pizza. That time, I almost enjoyed it since I expected absolutely nothing and it delivered.
As much as I want to be a part of the cinema elite and understand this film's importance and beauty and style and intrigue and intellect and symbolism; I have come to realize it just ain't gonna happen. So, I have resigned myself to believing that movies that I can and will continue to watch over and over again (such as "Goodfella's", "Planes, Trains and..", "Shawshank", "48 Hours", "Trading Places", "Godfather", "A Fish Called Wanda", "High Fidelity", "Fast Times @ RHS", "Caddyshack", "Office Space", "Groundhog's Day", "Kingpin" (only because of Bill Murray), "Rushmore", "Seven", "Swingers" and "Spinal Tap") shall heretofore (usage?) be this movie watcher's "classics".
