TimeOut Says ‘Tootsie’ Is The BEST Movie Of All Time
I literally can’t even right now. When I read TimeOut New Yorks 100 Best Movies of All Time, I was intrigued. Their progression was interesting (though personally I’d have a couple of these at different places on the list), a little bit “hipster”, but all and all made sense. Then I got to the number one spot. Tootsie.
I sat and stared at the number one listing. I read the film title over and over again. I understood the words that I was reading, but they just didn’t make sense. Tootsie.
I could smell the smoke from my brain. A movie about a cross-dressing Dustin Hoffman (currently with an IMDB rating of 7.4) beat out films like Raging Bull (8.3) and Pulp Fiction (8.9). Tootsie.
It’s arguably not a BAD movie, per-say, but THE best movie of all time? Tootsie.
