Top 10 Movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2005)

I don't care what anyone says about classic movies, and I'm all for the classics, but this movie is definitely in the top 10 of all time. Seeing this movie in the theater was absolutely hypnotic. I felt as though I was going through everything the characters in the movie went through, and when I was walking home, I distinctly remember feeling a sense of what is probably "Shell Shock." I remember thinking, "What's the point to everything?" which is something people often struggle through after going to war. This work is more than a movie, its an experience. Sadly its not possible to get quite such an intense feeling when watching it at home unless you have a terrific home theater. The giant screen I saw this movie on added to the incredible effect of the movie which fully enveloped me in the world of the story.
The opening scene is one of the best scenes ever put to film. If you don't already know what the scene is about, or even if you do, and you have not seen this movie, go out and rent it right now. Turn out all the lights and make sure you are absolutely comfortable and ready to give the movie your full attention. The opening scene is one you will never forget. It felt like I was right there next to 'em.
