#29....Oliver Stones' JFK..........

I am not one of those people who have a problem with someone making a movie not based on very many facts...you know why?...because it is a MOVIE....Oliver Stone takes those liberties with JFK and although most of his facts are exaggerated or simply not true (movie has definitely been torn apart over the last decade and a half) it is still a very entertaining movie nonetheless. I don't know of a movie that has such a stellar cast which begins with the solid lead performance of Kevin Costners' Jim Garrison, the only attorney to bring a case to court involving the assassination of Kennedy. Also starring Gary Oldman, Kevin Bacon, Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Jack Lemmon, Sissy Spacek, Donald Sutherland, Ed Asner and Walter Matthau this movie enthralls you from the onset and it has everything to do with Stones' masterful directing. I highly recommend it- conspiracist or not.........
