one of the best movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2001)

In 1986 I saw this movie in the theater by myself because no one in my dorm was interested in seeing a film about Jesuit priests. I liked it so much I went back to see it again the very next night, this time dragging a friend along. My friend wasn't as moved by it as I was, and I've since come to realize that "The Mission" is one of those highly personal films that doesn't speak to everyone ("Never Cry Wolf" is another). But still it's just one of those few great movies that you want to share with everyone you know. You should see it.
