Best movie ever made ?

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2005)

I just saw this film for the 5th and cried all over again. I love this movie. It appeals to the child in me. I saw 'Where Eagles Dare' when it first came out and I was 7. Seeing ID4 reminded what's it's like to be 7 watching a movie. It's so well paced that you can suspend disbelief easily as the film races along. It's also a supremely artful movie with references to Star Wars, Close Encounters ( It's a wonderful counter to Spielberg's sentimental and tacky rubbish ), Alien AND Aliens, 2001, Airplane, The Right Stuff. And these were just the one's I spotted. Films are for kids. Remind yourself of the kid in yourself and luxuriate in this wonderful film. PS Every time I see this film I spot something new the latest being that if you read the credits carefully it is announced that "No aliens were hurt in the making of this film." :-)
