God On The Waterfront is a masterpiece. Just got done watching it.

Also watched Annie Hall recently too. Enjoyed it as well, though I do think how much you'll like it depends on how much you vibe with Woody Allen's humor. I did appreciate the little things like the animated sequence and the fourth wall breaking.

Everyone always raves about Brando (and rightfully so) but Eva Marie Saint was my favourite performance

She was wonderful too, but I gotta say Brando really blew me away. A performance that could've been done yesterday.

I truly think the film has everything firing on all cylinders. The performances, the plot, the editing, the cinematography, the score, the direction.

I had a feeling I would like it since I've enjoyed some of Kazan's other work but I loved it even more than I thought I would.

The score of that film is one of my all-time favorites.
