4.0 out of 5 stars An all-time favorite--and yes, I have friends, too!, December 1, 2004

By	BG Ruyle "Femigod" (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews

Ok, so I couldn't just let this go by without doing something. One opinion does not a ratings system make, so allow a tempered voice of reason to enter the field and bring that "1 star" rating up a notch or two for a very deserving film. Having first seen "The Killing Fields" many times, I was fascinated to come across this little gem. While yes, it is true that Gray sits behind a desk most of the time and talks, that is what makes this film so special. Yes, it's a one-person show, but what's wrong with that if what the person has to say is engaging, stimulating and thought-provoking? I welcome the opportunity to spend time once in awhile listening to someone spin a yarn about their adventures, misadventures and epiphanies. I recommend you first watch "The Killing Fields", an excellent movie based on a true story, and then wait a day or two before sinking into the sofa with a big tub o'microwave popcorn and this dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars AAHAHAHAHAH, August 12, 2009

I hope the seller isn't hoping for a quick sale, since I can rent this masterwork for $3.99 from Netflix. Really.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Moment is this entire Film, January 3, 2006

By	Todd Steed (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even the spit coming out of his mouth at one point in this film makes this all the more engaging.

It's one of my favorite movies- he was a true original- and so is this film.
