5 stars (Exceptional) The kind of classic that, once seen, redefines your notion of a classic. Paddy Chayefsky's script is rightly regarded as one of the finest ever written - articulate, witty, observant, outrageous. Bleakly funny and more vital now than ever. ~fairbrother
5 stars (Exceptional) A brilliant script, with brilliant performances. Intelligent and thought-provoking. ~Wizzums
5 stars (Exceptional) 1970's classic which is more topical now than ever. Often imitated, never surpassed. One word to sum this film up. Superb. ~Anon
5 stars (Exceptional) superb...."we aren't going to take it any more!!" ~Anon
4 stars (Very Good) Its satirical message, along with that of Dr. Strangelove, will unfortunately, probably be timeless. ~Tubbs
2 stars (Good Try) ~Anonz
