Great movies people haven't seen #9

Amadeus
Amadeus is a period drama that was released in 1984 that was met with overwhelming critical acclaim, and in my opinion it's one of the best movies of the 80's. The movie is the true story about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and it's told by rival and jealous composer Antonio Salieri later on in his life. Salieri had always wanted to be a composer, but while he had a first rate music lover he was a third rate composer. He had heard stories of great Mozart for years, and when Mozart made his way into town he couldn't pass up a chance to see him. But he is shocked at what he finds. Instead of the brilliant and proper person he was expecting, he found a goofy and childish disgrace. He had trouble accepting it, he had given his entire life to music and had been a model human being in every way but somehow this idiot was the famous one. He didn't understand, until he heard his music. There's a great scene about a third of the way into the movie where Salieri has a revelation, he learns that Mozart doesn't think about the music but it just happens for him. And he is devastated, he always dreamed of being the greatest composer of all time but he realizes that he can never compete with Mozart. So Salieri decides to sabotage him, he spreads lies about him to the upper class and discourage them from hiring him. Shortly after Mozart starts to have money problems and decides to sell his valuables. But after coming home from a party he learns that his father has died, he then falls into a dark and alcoholic decent. And Salieri is right there to watch it. Amadeus is a masterpiece, I'd probably put it in my top 15 or 20 movies of all time. The movie is so well written and very comedic while still managing to stay serious and on task. Every actor does a top notch job, there is no weak link. The score is made up of dozens of classical pieces from the real life composers and they all work great. The set pieces, the costume design, and just about everything else is perfect. Amadeus is an astonishing movie that I personally hold in the highest regards, and it's a movie everyone should see.
