BEST movie from the last 25 years !!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2011)

I've been a movie buff since early childhood and must have seen about 5000 movies by now. I grew up in the 60s and 70s so I think I got my fair share of the best of the best. Yeah it was a pleasure to go to the movies when you could watch actors like Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas, James Caan, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando,... Unfortunately those people and those days are no more...
I really TRY to stay alert for the new releases and it's often an ordeal having to watch them. I wanna see actors, not digital computer effects. I wanna hear am orchestral movie score, not hip hop, rock or synthesizers.
And then... all of a sudden I watched "The boat that rocks" tonight and it completely blew me away. Exactly, no of the old actors, but a great storyline, great music and lovable characters.
The offshore radio stations in the sixties simply came to life in this very believable movie. This movie has it ALL ! I had to wait about 25 years to sat that I actually enjoyed a recent movie. It makes you laugh, makes you cry, there's tension, excitement,... what can I say ? Well, this movie is a MASTERPIECE which captures the spirit of the late 60s just p e r f e c t l y.
I would recommend this film to everybody !
