Even though, I claim 'Clueless' as my favourite movie, it probably is Sleepers'. To me the movie exemplifies the word 'poignant' - I don't know what it is that makes it so - the friendship between the boys, the waste of lives, the unfinished story between Carol and Micheal, the relationship between Fr.Bobby and the boys - something about the movie makes me feel.
For me, the film manages to clearly show the loss of innocence, from the mischievous children to to the stoic adults. It also clearly depicts choice - how 2 boys followed the obvious decisions while others managed to break away, even though it involves cutting a part of who you are.
It's the sort of movie that makes me appreciate my life, appreciate the art of telling a story and the strength of human relationships!

Gosh, watching that movie was a traumatic experience for me. I cried for an hour after it. Never again! only Clueless-type movies for me.
