Rain Man

It won Best Picture in 1989, and it stars two of the biggest stars in movies. I remember seeing bits and pieces of this as a kid and not really liking, so I decided to rewatch it after every single person told me they've seen it ten times. Really, it was a perplexing movie.

2 Sentence or Less Review: Obviously Dustin Hoffman ranks up in the best performances of all time for his role as Raymond, but other acting, directing, film elements in general were not stunning by any stretch. I liked the Ray and Charlie relationship, but this felt a little long and convoluted. 

Current Rank:
1. Eternal Sunshine (We'll put it back on top today)
2. Memento (Probably better than Sunshine, but no one reads this anyways)
3. Platoon (A solid number 3)
4. The Big Chill (Just a good movie)
5. The Big Lebowski (I liked it better than Rain Man, worse than Big Chill. Duh)
6. Rain Man (We'll stick this here, it kind of makes sense)
7. The Graduate (Dustin Hoffman adds up to 13)
8. Blow (Everyone else really really likes this movie)
9. Teen Wolf (Everyone else really really laughs at this movie)
