A movie very similar to this gets made every five years. Probably Heath Ledger’s most charming performance.

Micro-budgeted genre film with some poor acting and cinematography.

Inventive but shallow sci-fi.

Thought-provoking.

Not sure why this is so highly acclaimed. The lead character has few redeeming qualities.

Sweet. Well-acted.

Well constructed sets that came at the cost of the execution of the action sequences or adventure plot threads.

A great idea and cast. Still funny.

Feels authentic, but I’ve seen too many movies about NYC street kids to care a whit about these.

Some smart satire buried within makes this a classic.
