The Wall, the movie -- what say ye?

[billybreen]

Like many teenagers of a certain disposition, I went through a phase where the Wall was both the best album and best movie ever. I'm watching it now, for the first time in 10 years, thanks to HD Net Movies. So I put it to you thusly, is this a great movie, a good but flawed movie, or self indulgent tripe?

Ugh, I forgot that codes in titles aren't parsed. Can a mod fix that for me?

I voted great, but I wasn't exactly completely sober when I saw it, so that may have affected my vote

That's a key component of viewing. The first time I saw it, I was in 5th grade. I didn't get it.

Love the Floyd.

The movie sucks.

Try Live at Pompeii instead -- it's off the chain.

But Geldof, man! You've got to love Sir Bob as Pink.

Thank you to the mods for cleaning up the title.

Some scenes filmed with students from the now closed London Central High School. Thus, it is one of the best movies ever made.
