10/10
Definitely a top 100 film of all time
20 April 2003
Not to long ago a "best 100 American movies of all time" list was released. To my surprise there were a very small number films on that list did not belong on it. A much bigger surprise was as to why LBM was not on that list. I first saw it 30 years ago when I was 20 and I thought it was the greatest. I rarely see a movie a second time because most of the time I am disappointed when I do so. They don't age well. Not this one, it gets better with time. I have seen it over 25 times these past years and it still fascinates me. It has it all, pathos, wit, satire, comedy, sex, drama, irony, and horror. Basically, it deals with mans inhumanity to man, no matter on whose "side" you are on. It's one of those films that long after you've seen it, it really gets you to thinking about us as human beings and even wonder if we will ever get along. Great acting, great characters, great story, great script, and just a great tremendous movie!
