Funny - I just watched that on Thursday night.

So is Robin Williams.

It's a great movie.  Great song, too, but great movie.

Awesome movie.  My brother Tim and I saw it at the theater when it first came out.  Still one of my all-time favorites, and definitely one of my favorite last scenes to a movie ever.

Great movie!  One of my favorites and I always make sure I either watch it or DVR it if it's on.

You'll never see him as an option in "Greatest Villain" polls, but Mr. Perry is definitely up at the top.

This is my 500th post. And there's no better way to celebrate than to praise what is for me one of the greatest movies of all time. I think it was not a case that a band that I love so much was inspired by that same film. I remember watching it when I was a kid, and dreaming of a different way of thinking, a way of seeing things other than the one I was taught. I still cry every time when I see some scenes.

It feels like ages have passed, but things haven't changed. The message is still so strong and yet remains unheard by many... but not by everyone. And maybe it will just be like this forever. The tide still flows the opposite way, and time is always racing like hell. But there's a strange sense of preciousness and pride that you get when swimming against the current, even if somehow you feel that, one day, you might have to admit that you are just being washed away.

A great movie. Very under rated and over looked IMO.

A shining moment for Robin Williams who I think is a gifted actor.
