My favourite movie of the decade

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2001)

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this movie, both at the cinemas and on video. I never tire of it, and I usually like to watch it when I'm in a bad mood! It doesn't improve my mood, but it actually makes me enjoy being in a bad mood! Everything has been said before but I'm still going to sing the praises of a marvellous supporting cast. Really, everyone seemed to be having a great time making this film. Christopher Walken, in particular, is on fire as the bonce-lopping horseman. His supporting roles of recent years have been gems. The music and the art direction are amazing. I wish I had seen this film as a younger person. I think it would have scared the pants off me. Finally, the main reason this film is so wonderful is the combination of Mr Depp and Ms Ricci, whose on-screen magnetism together is electric. My favourite scene is when he asks her why she is in his room. But there's so many...
