That's a bit like my experience with it! I saw it when I was a kid, and then again when I was a bigger kid, and recently, as a big kid still, I saw it a third time.
Has your opinion of it changed, or stayed the same?
Doesn't it ever feel like you're missing out on some of the pleasure and joy of film-going by watching so much -- not taking the time to let a film sink in, not reflecting on it for a little while before going on to the next?
A perfect rating for Murderball! I liked it, but not close to that much. It sure was interesting to watch Rubin and Shapiro do a decent job mixing documentary and melodrama together, though. I don't think the film would have been as effective in any other form. Still, there's a part of me that wanted to be manipulated a little bit less...
Why the big ratings leap for The Leopard Man? I've only seen it once, but wouldn't give it a point more than your original rating of 68 -- and that only if I was feeling generous!
The scene in The 39 Steps in which Hannay hides out at the farmhouse, ends up being given away by the farmer, and is finally helped by the farmer's wife is one of my favourite moments in any Hitchcock film. Not only is it suspenseful, but the care taken to flesh out both the young, city-dreaming wife and her older, religious husband is incredible. I admire it more every subsequent time I see it.
Steinbeck may have helped write Hitchcock's Lifeboat, but that scene stands out as the most Steinbeck-like one Hitchcock ever directed.
How is A Confederacy of Dunces? Ever since it was mentioned in Sideways, the title's been methodically popping up in my life. Can't say I'm too eager to read it, but the damn thing's being persistent. Recommended or not recommended?
Glad to see someone else think Persopolis ain't all that and a can of Franco-Persian beans.
O NO you 'idn't... give a higher letter grade to Dominik's Ass. than Clair's Liberte!
The Host is pretty darn awesome. I wonder who'll be in the American remake...
*rolls eyes*
I'm looking forward to those three hours of "Huh?"!

How many times have you seen The 400 Blows?
Hot damn! You watch a lot of films.

Ouch... The Maltese Falcon takes a hit! What did you think corny about it?
Red Eye better than La Strada? I demand an explanation!
