John you should honestly rewatch it... sure you would reappreciate it.
AF rent it you'll love it
Actually i cant think of anyone that i know that wouldnt love this movie! apart from people who cant get over the violence and cant understand that it's not in the movie for the sake of it being violent...

i really loved how they show that it's an ongoing cycle... and the make sure you understand from the beggining like the first time we see the APPARTMENT, the story stops complatly, then he tells us the whole story of the apartment... i beleive this one should go in the classics.
