Movie - Cinema Paradiso

WE LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! Saw the director's cut, which was about 3 hours long. What a thoughtful, almost perfect movie. A loving tribute for cinema history lovers, but also accessible to the rest of us - a poignant love story, the evolution of cinema along with the evolution of a small town, a culture and a fading way of life. Beautiful storytelling.

A few days later I watched the theatrical release version. Also wonderful, but I think I prefer the other version. More satisfying.
