Forget renting it - buy it!

It's a great film with great shots and a great story.  There are many different levels to it, and more than a few lessons learned.  I think it's one of Spielberg's best, personally.

Apparently, Mr. Tango has yet to learn the phrase "one of" :D

(1941 is definately up there too, though it is a completely different sort of movie :aok )

Ditto on all accounts.    One of Malkovich's best role, IMHO.
