I knew this movie was going to be cool, but not this cool! And it's gotta be one of the greatest heists ever seen. I love any movie where the protagonist gets away with murder, and this flick probably takes the cake!

I agree, it's one of the coolest movies ever.
All lies lead to the truth.
The cinematography was almost superb. Way up there on the list. Camera use, editing, the melding from one scene to the next, and too, the controversial multi-screen images. Visually a beauty. The chess scene, the movements, facial expressions, the kiss that goes round and round into a multicolor light show, then, (if I recall) to the quiet sand dune grass shot to the roar of the dune buggy.
Also, part of the beauty is the lack of whizz bang special effects. It was all done with simple cameras. Sure, for todays viewers it lacks constant action.
But it will remain in the history of cinema a very good film.

OK not the most action-packed or suspenseful. that prize goes to Heat. but you have to admit that the way it was carried out with utter smoothness... in and out in under 5 minutes... was just too cool for school.
i know i was blown away too! stylish, artistic, cool, laid back, great chemistry between the two leads, the intensity, the music, the soundtrack, the cinematography and the everything else!
the kissing scene got to be the greatest kissing scene of the 1960s!

Possibly one of the best ever actually, the tension was right for the moment and believable.
I also think the kiss in Empire Strikes back is fantastic, I'm not even being a Star Wars nerd here, I hadn't watched it in a while and when Solo steals that kiss from Leia the music, the tension, her reluctance - it's a great scene. Most movie kisses are just terrible.
Yesss…..

As cool and sophisticated as a prawn cocktail, steak Béarnaise and a crème caramel.
(I personally like all the above, but if I saw them on a restaurant menu I'd be concerned for my sanity.)

share[Chuckle] , umm yes, that too!
I hadn't thought about this before, but it's also funny to imagine someone from the 1960s facing a current restaurant menu, and a current waiter waffling on about about food "drizzled in a raspberry vinaigrette and papaya coulis" or some such. (I'm sure some comedian has done this idea to death before, but I find it entertaining.)
