Danielle Solzman

The Sting has everything going perfectly right from start to finish and still holds up 50 years later as one of the best films ever made. It is a masterclass in filmmaking.

One of the most enduring and exquisitely crafted blockbusters of all time.

There's a playful allure that permeates much of the film and it has a cool retro style that calls back to the classic mob movies of Raoul Walsh and Lloyd Bacon. But it also has a touch of 1970s grit which helps sets it apart.

The Sting is full of elaborate double-crossings, delightful shenanigans, and nostalgic ragtime-era costumes and music.

An upbeat piece of pure escape that left crooked politicians and Vietnam and cynicism at the window where you bought your ticket
