And then there is a period of critical re-assessment that usually ends up with someone shouting: "Over-rated!"

And then after a while, more critical re-assessment ends with: "Nope. Pretty much about as good as people having raving for all of these years."

Still an incredible film.

Thank you, Mr. Nichols. Rest in peace.
