Yes, I did, and it was as great a cinematic experience as it is nowadays. I've just watched it for what must have been the 5th or 6th time and I'm always enthralled and always find a little detail that went unnoticed in previous viewings. This film has everything perfect: cast, costume, dialogue, acting, directing, etc. The opening scene, with both JM and GC looking into the mirror, which is the camera (meaning US) is a gem. This is a film about stripping of one's mask and, as such, should touch most people in a number of different ways.
Watch it a few times, is my suggestion to all of you.
I'm ready to listen. Are you ready to think? -

This is excellent advice. I've watched it several times over the years, and am always amazed at the little things I pick up with each viewing - things that take on a different meaning, haven't noticed before, etc. Each viewing seems to bring something new. -

One of the very few movies in my life that I have ever walked out of. After a half hour of watching this film, I had no idea who was who or what was going on. I heard people in the theater laughing and had no idea what they were laughing about. I absolutely hate movies or tv shows that I am unable to follow, so I just gave up and walked out. I've never bothered to try and watch it again. A truly horrible experience. If I was rating this movie, I'd give it a zero! I don't understand how anyone could follow this movie.. too complex.

Yes, I watched it in 1988. I dragged my then boyfriend (now husband), and I loved it. He, not so much. But he pretended to, bless him.
John Malkovich was very attractive, but I think almost any man is sexy in 18th century clothing.
