Thirty Years On I Realise This is 10 out of 10

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2015)

Hi. After 30 years and having seen many attempts to recreate the glory of this movie, I now realise how quintessentially sublime and genius this movie is. It not only deserves a full 10 out of 10 but must remain the benchmark of how a movie must excel for the era it released in. I was in school when I saw this and this movie changed me. Similarly movies like Jaws did the same. Very rarely do we come across movies of the calibre of Jaws or The Terminator. I am writing this in 2015, about 31 years after the movie after I realised how culturally and socially significant this movie turned out to be. You may not feel the impact fully if you watch this movie today, but the impact of the story is still present. Anyone keen on watching modern interpretations and sequels MUST watch this first! Thanks for reading.
