So we have this big new fancy HDTV and HD on demand. I noticed FARGO was available for free, so I watched it again last night. It had been a few years since I'd seen that move and HOLY CRAP! This is without a doubt one of the top 5 movies of all time.
Much like many "classics" from way back when, this film has NO special effects, NO explosions, NO hunky leading man or hottie showboating her cleavage, NO CGI, NO cast of thousands.... none of that stuff that typically gets the "wow factor" these days.
This film has ACTORS, playing roles to perfection. It has DIALOGUE that keeps you begging for more. There is not one second that was put in that didn't belong. The mucical score is absolutely haunting, I literally would get chills when that violin theme would play. I simply cannot say enough good things about this movie. The Coen brothers just rule, and this is their crown jewel. I can't beleive it didn't win the Oscar for best picture.
If you havent seen Fargo, stop what you are doing, RIGHT NOW, and go rent it. If it has been a while since you have seen it, go watch it again tonight.
So, yeah... 10 out of 10 for me, duh.
