The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Love for a film can last long past the most recent viewing. Immediacy might be necessary without the critical mass that can carry a work of art into pop culture immortality, but once a motion picture passes out of the current consciousness and attains a status beyond relevance, it can transform into a beloved keepsake, dusted off every so often as a reminder of our fondness for its dated perfection.
