COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Rules of the Game submitted by jaegerla on August 16, 2010, 10:52am Some argue this is the best movie ever made. Nothing will ever outdo Citizen Kane or Vertigo in my book, but I can see why people argue the point. This was so fluid, so witty, so satirical, and so perfect that I must encourage you all to see it. Go on, don't be shy, put it on hold. Bask in its controversy. Laugh at the people that originally banned it. Save a special belly laugh for the guy that tried to set a movie theater playing it on fire.
