CGiii Comment
It failed at the box office.
It's probably the most loved film ever made.
And...it never won an Oscar - explain that one!
For this is a masterwork.
Clever, brutal, sensitive, a human story, a friendship - one of those rare films that you just don't want it to end.
A true modern classic.
