Ok well, I like it more than others because it's incredibly intelligent and multilayered. It's a humanistic story at it's core, it's a wonderful homage to human beings and their Sisyphean struggle against the odds, it has an incredible collection of supporting characters (meticulously cast), some truly brilliant images (slow mo of the naked lady on the trampoline anyone? How's that for a punch in your aspiring filmmaker face), it's endlessly quotable, complex (how long did it take you to figure out "this aggression will not stand" was actually from a speech Bush made and is shown at the very beginning in the store?), brilliantly acted and written (only people who smoke pot can see the veracity of Bridges' performance). So yeah...
