A less oppressive use of yellow than "Good Will Hunting"

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 1998)

I agree that the English Patient is an across the board superb movie (10 of 10), and it stands out a superior film when compared to its contemporary greats as designated by the Academy (*chortle*), being superior to "Braveheart" and embarrassingly better than the overhyped fx-vehicle "Titanic." (yeah, sure, you're the king of the world, Jimmy...). One thing that I love is the fact that Ralph Fiennes and Julian Wadham finally give us realistic screen-archeologists. Not that I have anything against the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movies, but it is nice to see ethical and thorough fieldmen.
P.S. We all look tanned and skinny and ruggedly handsome in the field...
