The name of the film always put me off watching it. Ever so glad i was convinced in to it.
Only the fact that there is so much bad language and for Titanic being released in the same year this would have swept the boards in the Oscars!
I hate Robin Williams as a comedian, but i was in tears after watching his timeless performance. I love most of the classic movies but this is definitely the best film i have ever seen
Mat Damon played a great part, showing the full spectrum of emotions in his role.
I've ever gone out and bought the soundtrack to the film, i've watched it half a dozen times and always go right through to the final credits.
Pure brilliance!
