One of the best films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2005)

Take the director of a classic like "Picnic at hanging rock" or "Gallipolli" and add someone best know for his wacky, rubberised facial characters and you could have a very uncomfortable recipe for disaster. In fact, Peter Weir's direction and the inspired casting of Jim Carrey alongside people like Ed Harris, brought a pathos-tinged magic to the screen that's rarely been seen since the likes of James Stewart. If you've not seen it then I urge you to do do, and if you have then get it down off the shelf and watch it again now. Better still, show it to someone you care about. Now in all honesty, that was all I wanted to say but this website has said I haven't met the minimum criteria of 10 lines so I'm now just waffling until I can get my copy down off the shelf and start watching it!
