BEST!
EVER!
PERIOD.
Just like most truly brilliant pieces of art, explaining why they are great is almost moot. I could write for hours, but in the end Gestalt Theory prevails: the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This movie is what made me appreciate film as an art form and to devote my life to watching them. Whatever flaws people may say it has only add to its strength because they don't matter. It's magic would be lost if anything was changed. Most modern-day film fans are too arrogant to acknowledge this film among more popular contemporary classics, but the truth is that only a few of them even come close.
Love it. Hate it. Whatever. Either way you will respect and bow down to its glory.
