Let me join the chorus of affection for LiT. It's one of my favorite movies too. If I hadn't been following the strategy that I am, I would have chosen this a long, long time ago.
It's funny how so many people just don't care for this movie though. To address this, I find the quote from Roger Ebert's review to be a better response than anything I could think of---
"
a film is not about what it's about, it's about how it's about it."
Fantastic choice Superflyer! Damn you
