Why isn't this at #1?

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2004)

It is an outrage that this cinematic MASTERPIECE is anything lower than #1 (well, #10 anyway). I have watched this a dozen times and I never get tired of it. This thing starts off funny (a discussion of aerodynamics in the same universe as trial by ordeal?), and never lets up...even the much-criticized end is terrific! Even the credits are a scream. It is probably one of the few movies in the history of film actually helped by cheap production values, and it beats the living Hell out of any of today's blockbusters.
I wish I could give this one 11/10 (It's one better, innit?).
