IMO it’s one of the few movies that genuinely lives up to the hype.. and a bonus is that it has a timeless quality , so you can watch it in 2023 and it isnt much different than when i saw it in the theater in 1987, b/c it’s a period piece.. sometimes ill try to watch 80s or 90s movies i never saw, but too much time has passed and it seems dated.. not so with TPB .
