I have a confession to make. Actually a couple of them.
1. This movie escaped me for several years. I recently saw it and loved it; and
2. I almost ranked this movie a lot higher than it should have been for this list.
This list is my Top 100 (Favorite) Movies. I used several factors to rank the movies including the number of times I had seen a movie and how long ago I first saw it. I love A History of Violence, but I ranked it much low on this list because it was a relatively new movie that I had only seen once recently. Similarly, The Godfather Part II received a lower ranking than it probably would have had I seen this flick more than once or at an early point in my life.
All that being said, I was concerned that people would not take this list seriously, so I almost ranked it MUCH higher. I decided against that and am happy I stuck to my guns, as I did with the rest of the entries in this list.
So what do I think of this movie? It is one of the greatest movies ever: great acting, great direction, memorable moments, great dialogue and almost as good as The Godfather.
