It's a travesty that this film isn't available on DVD yet, but Spielberg likes to play games with his good films, something he learned from his buddy Lucas.  In any case, thanks to Jeff's Used LD/DVD Finder, I managed to find a used copy of the out-of-print laserdisc on Ebay.  It arrived, and it's taken a while to get the guts up to watch it.  I'm quite happy with the purchase, but the discs need a cleaning, since there are a few scenes that get stuck on repeat thanks to some fingerprints. 

This is a hard film to watch - very hard, but extremely important.  In any case, I'm not sure there's anything I can say about the movie other than, if you haven't seen it yet, you need to.  It is unquestionably one of the most powerful movies of the last 20 years.

If you aren't a fan of films like Howards End and Remains of the Day, you won't like this film.  If however, you do appreciate the aforementioned, you'll find Gosford Park quite entertaining.  For the genre, it's just about slapstick comedy.  But by any yardstick, its sense of humor is readily apparent.  Combine this with a good, twisty whodunit and you end up with a more sophisticated Clue that's highly entertaining.
