God, how much did I love this movie as a kid? It iss the first movie I remember seeing in the cinema as a child, and WHAT a movie to see? All those colours! Those sets (the opening 15 minutes are breathtaking)! The costumes! The actors! Man, it's one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and still love it every time. So much fun. Its better today as well because I can appreciate it as more artful. And I get all the jokes ("I sweat more in the dark"). And I love Madonna in this (Quentin Tarantino famously said he thought she was only one who knew what she was doing). Everything about it is just so... fun. That's what's missing from SO MANY comic/action movies these days. That's why Spiderman 2 was so great though.
It also helps that I just love that time period. 1930s, prohibition time ya know? Music halls, gangsters, dames and stuff. I just get so caught up in this movie. I love it soooo much. A. I really am tempted to bump it up to an A+ and move it into my top 15 of all time. ...
