I think I would rate that film one of the best for me, even though I had a really hard time sitting through it because the Officer really scared me.

i see this one on a lot of top ten lists. i just don't get it.

it's probably the least depressing german film of the decade but that's like the most intelligent timm post or least funny pants.

In my opinion, it had one of the best endings in a movie.

I really don't go to or watch a lot of movies, but I really thought that The Wrestler was excellent.

Totally agree. Thought it was utterly mediocre. 'The Conversation' did it better 25 years earlier.

Brilliant film, with the sorely missed Gene Hackman, I guess he's retired for good.
