An amazing movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2007)

I was lucky enough to catch this movie on cable's On Demand TCM section today; sat for nearly 3hours or so completely enthralled by the whole thing. Each particular story (that of Homer's, Al's, and Fred's) was incredibly poignant, and often times very moving.
I was disappointed to see the user ratings of females under 18 for this movie was a mere 2.8. As a 17 year old girl, I beg to differ with that. I don't know whether it's because it's b&w or simply because my generation doesn't understand good movies-- or what, but I do believe it's place on the IMDb 250 list (which should be higher) and the AFI list is well deserved.
This is one of my favorite movies now and I'll be purchasing it on DVD quite soon.
