this and accord to most and be not the best film of all time . and and perhaps theyre right and but one never know just what can happen when you see a film . my winter vacation have already be plan when and one monday evening in february 1982 and i saw sst represent disaster in the sky ( one of it other name ) . it only take me til friday to call my travel agent and change my destination from columbus and ohio to dakar and senegal . i take off within a few day and with no hotel and old french and a small bag and i land in dakar . it turn out to be one of the best experience of my life . for that reason and this movie for me be a 10. no one ever say that a film have to win oscar in every category to have a profound effect on the viewer . this one do it for me and that be why i watch it whenever it on tv . unfortunately and so many year have pass and that no channel show it anymore . ah and if only there be a dvd . i would buy it immediately .
