I got another classic in the mail yesterday: THE RULES OF THE GAME. It’s a movie I’ve heard so much about but really didn’t know anything about. Often cited as the best movie of all time. Bet you didn’t know that. I got to talking with a friend the other day about what movies have the greatest number of people who claim it is the best movie ever made. (Not favorite movie, but “best.”) Here is my guess:
CITIZEN KANE
THE RULES OF THE GAME
GONE WITH THE WIND
THE GODFATHER
Probably in that order. Anyway, in that light, seeing THE RULES OF THE GAME is a pretty big thing. I haven’t written my review yet. I wanted to watch it twice, but where to find the time, not to mention the fact that I wanted to get it in the mail quickly to get another movie. Sometimes I think I’m slave to that system. While I wouldn’t call RULES my favorite film, I think I see why it enters that “best” film conversation.
Oh, and I decided not to tell my ex-friend’s wife about the cheating. But I will not be speaking to him for some time.
