As movies looking into the head space of somebody going psycho and giving us the chance to identify with them a bit it's pretty effective. I'll buy that for it's time there was nothing like it and it landed like a Titan missile, forever changing the landscape. So yeah, I guess that all makes it a classic. I saw it maybe ten years ago, and it made me want to get a drink. I can't say I particularly want to watch it again though, and I think if I did, I'd probably pick it apart and think less highly of it in the end.
