344. Lovely, still - ****
345. Underground (1995 - 2h 50m theatrical cut) - **** - This film is a conundrum to me. I love it but it's still too long. I watched the 5h 20m director's cut several months ago, and have been looking forward to watching this cut ever since. I think it would be a better film if another hour was carefully removed.

I avoided watching this for years after it came out cos a mate told me it was total shit. That taught me a lot about the value of individual perspective in film reviews! The comics were better though.
