The greatest film of all of time. From scene to scene, from one dialogue to the next, the whole film is full of greatness. From perfectly angled camera shots to mastery of music and picture, this icon of a cult classic is re-watchable in every aspect.

The plot creates a gregarious sense till the very end with a structure that all audiences will want to unravel. Each actor gives perfectly flawless performances. What makes this movie a top notch above the rest is due to its mixture of plot and perfect scenes that gives viewers something more valuable than a movie experience.

The movie teaches a lesson that goes beyond it's unclear purpose of a movie but all is found through it's protagonist, with his dialogue the viewers can created own meaning through this character.

That is what makes this movie the greatest, it's profound visual pleasing adapted with it's perfect soundtrack by Michael Andrews, Richard Kelly provides us with a classic for the ages and a titan of a movie.

All this is clearly discernable even by one scene of this spectacular movie, and one I consider to be the greatest scene in film history, the Movie Theater scene. When Frank appears the lighting, the contrast, the dialogue, the purpose, even the very pace of this scene is perfect, and is all captured with music.

Absolutely great. This movie is full of daring ideas, and a story that goes beyond everything it's competitors of psychological thrillers have accomplished. Also alot of people ask what should I I come away with in this movie, and it's what I have just stated.

Lastly there are two bigger reasons this movie should more than 100% one it is that the cast is perfect and I it is obvious that they are in either other great movies or other horrible movies, the point is that when you watch this you the thought of these actors dissapear and you can't even image the actors playing any other role anywhere! I didn't even know who Patrick Swayze was before this movie.

And two it's a meaning about purpose/existence, which is perfect with it's themes, especially it's time travel theme. 101/100.
