Single Line Movie Review Game

[TheeGoatPig]

Write a movie review in one sentence. Everyone else has to guess what movie it is for. Whoever gets it right, gets to review their own movie in one sentence. Then everyone has to guess that. I will begin with the review that caught my eye and gave me this idea.It should be fairly simple and easy to guess. It's only one of the most popular movies of all time.

You of all people had better know this one!

I'll only answer again rarely. I want to give others a chance to play (and I'm playing on two forums now, so that means coming up with twice as many reviews).
