I finally saw this movie on the big screen this weekend (at the Egyptian Theatre)--the way it was meant to be seen. I have loved this movie since my mother first showed it to me about 12 years ago, but seeing it with colors vibrant, larger than life, the glorious score surrounding me...well, it was like a religious experience.
One thing: would everyone just lay off of Richard Beymer's Tony? I think he was fine! Tony's supposed to be a lovesick character. If you read that as wimpy, then you've just missed the entire point of the movie.
