A wonderful piece of story-telling.

Although it takes a great deal of patience to watch this slow-paced (and unusually long) movie, it still manages to provide lavish entertainment around every corner. Minnelli's and De Niro's performances are both amazing, and I'm shocked that they got snubbed at the Oscars.
Underrated gem

OK, not all of the scenes work, but you have to give it to Spielberg. He really, really wants this movie to be funny. Like REALLY. The movie is literally dripping with ambition, so you have to give it credit for that.
