One of the bigger surprises for me on the AFI list. I had low expectations, due to Lucas' mostly unfriendly review, but I found this film engaging and worthy of consideration for "classic cinema" status. I am not sure I was ready for such a heavy story and nicely twisted plot lines, but I was drawn in and entertained from very early on. A must for cinema lovers and a very high recommendation for the casual movie watcher.

I did have to watch a handful of movies while dealing with a screaming child. Perhaps I projected a my feelings into a couple of negative reviews. The funny thing is that when we discussed it later, I remembered enjoying the film. I guess that makes me a flip-flopper. Well nominate me for president and call me Kerry.
But Duck Soup still sucked. I watched that with a clear mind, and it was crap. Eat it Trabek.
