I remember seeing this in the theater back in 1995 because Barry Sonnenfeld was one of my favorite directors (he directed the first two Addams Family films). He's got a sharp wit and a keen eye, and this movie was no exception. I watch this film probably once a year or so and it hasn't lost any of it's comedic appeal for me, because the acting is top notch, the jokes are sharp and dry, and the direction is crisp and fast. John Lurie's score and choice of additional music fits the tone of the film perfectly. This, for me, is a lasting, consistently entertaining classic.
