most fantastic modern movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2005)

Despite being only eighteen years old, I am great lover of sweeping epics of my parent's generation. My favorite movie of all time is Lawrence of Arabia. It is gorgeously filmed, superbly acted, and nearly flawless. The English Patient is the only movie within the last decade that I think matches it's grandeur. The English Patient is beautifully filmed, and every actor in it is fantastic: Ralph Fiennes should have won the best actor Oscar that year, Kristin Scott Thomas was excellent as always, Juliette Binoche was marvelous, Colin Firth, Naveen Andrews, and Willem Dafoe were all great. This movie is one of my top five favorite movies of all time. Incredible.
