I've seen De Palma's Snake Eyes twice, and I enjoyed it more the second time than the first. Snake Eyes features several visually astounding moments including the oft-praised opening sequence, the bird's-eye-view of the hotel floor, and the awesome split-screen flashback sequence. However, my personal favorite is the scene in which the camera angle seamlessly changes from first person to third person perspective. It's the flashback scene where Tyler and his agent are in his room with Rick Santoro at the door outside. The scene starts out with us seeing from Tyler's POV, then as he turns to the mirror it moves out to omniscient third-person POV. Very, very smooth camera work in this movie. Sure the plot may not entirely hold water, but Snake Eyes isn't about plot. It's about style, it's about having fun. And that's what Snake Eyes is: more than most movies of its genre.

What is greatness? Well, when you have every independent director in the country trying to make a movie as good as yours, you have achieved greatness. All of you Pulp Fiction bashers should go watch Citizen Kane or something. Pulp Fiction is a truly great film, and one of the best of the decade. I'd rather watch Pulp over Kane any day.

Hands down the best movie of the decade. Boogie Nights just gets better with each successive viewing. At two and a half hours, the story is perfectly fleshed out and characters fully developed all around. Boogie Nights features the best directing, writing, editing, cinematography, characters, and soundtrack of any movie in recent memory. A true modern masterpiece.
