Top Ten of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2020)

"The Best Years of Our Lives" is one of the best movies ever made. It's a beautiful looking movie. It has great music. The cast is top-notch and they all deliver excellent performances. This movie tells its powerful story in a beautiful way. There is no downtime. This is probably the fastest three hour movie ever made. I first saw this movie in the early 1980s in a film class at Queensborough Community College (Bayside, NY). I've seen it many times since. It never gets old. There's not a dry eye in the living room when this one is over. Director William Wyler and company created a masterpiece with "The Best Years of Our Lives". Honorable mention: a dreamy Cathy O'Donnell.
