I would put it in a Top 250, perhaps. Too much Crichton, not enough Spielberg (who knew that could be a flaw). Saw it at a perfect age for it to be seen (12) and found it kind of dull.

@avclub-ab5266a567015c1fa88e4cb37ae91f51:disqus No need. The Princess Bride doesn't even feel like an 80's movie (except for the presence of Fred Savage).

But SoTL has never had that problem. It's that rare film where both general audiences and snobby critics can agree it deserved to win best picture. Like The Godfather. Or Lawrence of Arabia. Not saying it's better than those two films, but honestly I can't find any flaws in it.

Heat?
Saving Private Ryan? (would have preferred this over Schindler's List)
Twelve Monkeys?
The Usual Suspects?
Magnolia?
True Romance?
