Last night I watched
Pan's Labyrinth (2006).
...Amazingly, for the first time. This, IMO, is about as good as it gets. I can't find a flaw in the entire thing, and I was captivated throughout. The mixture of childhood fantasy and grit was unique for the genre, and the sound design was perfect for my newly-installed surround system. Unfortunately, my viewing experience was not ideal because I watched it in three chunks over several nights, but I can't fault the movie for that. I don't dole out this rating lightly, but I'm going to do it...
10/10.
