One of my all time favorites

I came upon this movie while switching channels. I have seen this movie on tv but never really saw the whole thing. This time around, I caught the movie in the beginning. From then on, my eyes were stuck on the tv. I finally decided to buy the dvd.
This is a great movie. It is a great love story between lovers and families. It was kind of long, but it went by pretty fast. I was not a big fan of Brad Pitt. But because of this movie, I am starting to warm up to him. I have always been a big fan of Claire Forlani. She was perfect for this part. She is exceptionally beautiful. Anthony Hopkins was superb as William Parrish.
This movie is about whats important in life. I think Death's and Susan's love story is one the best of all time. I cried when Susan knew who he was, but she said he is still Joe. I cried until the scene where she runs after her father and Death because the 2 men in her life is gone. Then, I cried again when the sweet guy from the coffee shop came back and realized she has a second chance at love.

This was great movie. This movie is a classic.

Glorious, BUT ...

Glorious Claire Forlani, superbly supported.
BUT this DVD, together with very many others, has a MAJOR DEFECT - the dialog is all too often drowned out by the background music!
Under-texts for the weak of hearing are close to an insult in that they distract. They are only acceptable for very foreign languages, certainly not for the listeners' own language.
Technically it is simple to provide two or three steps in the relative volumes of background sound/music and dialog! DO IT! DO IT!
Be ashamed for not already having done it.

EXCELLENT

Very excellent movie to watch. The acting, music, photography and plot was just too good. Brad and Anthony Hopkins are both good actors and still are. Great flick

Great Movie

This movie got bad reviews when it first came out, but I have always loved it. Its long, but the story is worth it. The subtle delivery given by the actors and the humor should not be passed up.

DON'T OVERTHINK THIS ONE

Based loosely on the premise that the Devil will negotiate with mere humans, this story strains the limits of credulity at times (whether it is because Brad Pitt is an ineffectual actor or the role was absurd is not clear). If you are willing to let go of the fact that Satan has never tasted peanut butter and seems unnaturally interested in it, you may be able to enjoy what is a sometimes sweet and sometimes poignant film about regret, greed, love and hope. What more could one want from a chic flic? P.S. My husband wanted it for Christmas. Hmmm.
