On a scale of 1 to 10 this is 135. There are precious few films that did every single thing right. That you absolutely feel better for having watched it.
The actors are perfect, the music is ideal, the quiet beautiful moments that capture Prince Edward Island will transport you to another (better) time and place.
None of the remakes after this have come close. Some have even tarnished Anne and the story and this film.
If there is a true list of movies everyone should see before they die. This film belongs on it and near the top. If not absolutely the #1 spot
