it just didn't have the same impact that it did the first couple of times I saw it. Your mileage may vary.

... of all time. Minimal script/dialogue, easy for the hearing impaired to understand, back when captioned movies on VHS were the new thing and not all movies that came out were captioned (ADA '92).

Well done!
