The Great Movies Game

I hate sappy hollywood endings, but it's impossible not to cheer for Terry Malloy when he struggles to his feet and enters the docks, followed by the workers.



It's excellent in every regard.

Totally agree. Great performances. Fabulous script, awesome lighting and cinematography. A 20th century cinematic masterpiece.
I haven't watched it in an age though
