"LIGHTNING COULD STRIKE" A REAL MASTERPIECE!
Added 2/8/2010
I've been a moviegoer since the fifties and had the supreme pleasure to behold many great films on the silver screen. But Martin Brest broke the mold when he made "MEET JOE BLACK". Positively, and without question the finest movie I've ever seen. I turned 62 last year. I had seen the movie several times since 1998. But, I started watching it again with a renewed vigor, primarily because like most of us (who rush through life, not stopping to smell the fragrant roses along the way) I realized like Bill Parrish that I'm definitely closer the the end, than the beginning. Or, am I closer to a beginning than the end? Every nuance, smile, grimace, frown and glance by each and every actor is so utterly and totally focused and perfectly scored with swells of emotion that one must view this masterpiece over and over to even get a glimpse of the profound concepts explored in this epic.
Now, after viewing this film scores of times, I weep with Bill Parrish when he contemplates the wonderful gifts of his life and the fleeting moments that remain for him. Each of us should view this film and reflect upon our lives; God-given gifts of our families and friends that touch our lives as we touch them and marvel at this masterpiece that we call life "how quickly it passes".
You must...."MEET JOE BLACK".

Meet Joe Black

What a startling movie. I haven't been impressed with many and this one is great. It is very inspiring as well as entertaining. I have watched it more than once and expect to watch again. The representation of who the man is really suits.

This movie is one of my favorite Brad Pitt movies ever made! this is a remake of a classic movie with a modern touch, it is kinda of long but well worth it believe me! The story that is told will answer a lot of questions people have of death and why it happens the way it does. i love this movie!

I loved this movie

I found the whole movie very entertaining and also fascinating. I didn't think it was too long at all. I don't know where they get this material but some of these writers and directors are incredible. This is one of the few movies I will buy, wish they had it on blu ray but HD will do.
