Dances with Wolves
The majesty of a good epic is unlike anything else that cinema (or any art form, really) can offer, and this movie is a damn good example of that. Flaws aside, of which there are many, witnessing a journey as thoroughly as this and with as skilled a narrative hand as this can be deeply enlightening, here emphasizing just how meaningless almost any conflict is and how much potential the human race really has to love and care for one another. <PERSON> isn't the most captivating screen presence out there, but I'll be damned if the sheer scope doesn't more than account for that.
Goodfellas is still better 217
