Give it another chance 8-)

Its reputation has skyrocketed after the last couple of decades. I was blown away by it when it was re-released about 30 years ago.

British critics have placed it as the #1 movie of all time!

Two more from my top ten made the list, "2001" and "The Searchers."

(British Sight & Sound) Critics’ Top 10 Films of All Time

10. 8 ½
9. The Passion of Joan of Arc
8. Man with a Movie Camera
7. The Searchers
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans 4. La Règle du jeu
3. Tokyo Story
2. Citizen Kane
1. Vertigo

My personal top ten, in no particular order:

My Life as a Dog
The Exorcist
Taxi Driver
Diner
2001
Vertigo
The Trial
The Searchers
Network
Duck Soup
