I just picked this up from the library. I remember it doing very well at the 99 Academy Awards. It’s currently ranked #78 on the IMDB top 250.

I wanted to see it a long time ago, but I forgot about it. I just stumbled upon it while working my way down IMDB’s top 250.

To date my wife will not forgive me for making her watch this film.

I've never seen her cry at a movie as much as she did when he viewed this one.

But it's a great movie. Benini was spectacular.

I searched pretty hard, but couldn’t find it. I was surprised that I couldn't find one on this movie. If there is one already, please delete or combine this one.

we definitely talked about it in the "50 movies to see before you die" thread, but i couldn't find it on it's own.

This movie never achieved "suspension of disbelief" for me. Hiding a kid in a Nazi death camp for months on end? I didn't buy it.

I felt the same about Jurassic Park. Jeff Goldblum as a chaotician? WTF?

I actually found it to be very believable. Wouldn't surprise me if stuff like that actually happened.

Awesome movie. I need to buy it.

I just watched it. I’m glad that I finally got around to watching it. Guido started to annoy me a bit during the first half of the movie, but I got used to him. While watching it I kept thinking to myself that the boy looked very familiar. Then when I looked him up I saw that he was also Maximus’ son in Gladiator.
