Why isn't this in the Top 250?

Oh, it's even about so much more than even that. To say that it's about class struggle, the oppression of the former Soviet-bloc citizenry and their wide-eyed excursions into the outside world, a man's struggle with his own demons of personal success, loyalty to his boss, driving his men, yet wanting to protect them, while at once being both absolutely as despised as he is necessary to them would only touch upon the surface of possibilities this fine film contains. It harkens back to a time, not so long ago, where romantic notions of freedom and ideologies still existed, and there almost seemed to be a nobility in those oppressed in the face of a world they could not control.

I am not, repeat NOT a Jeremy Irons fan. I find him to be quirky in an uninteresting way; and honestly know not why he is as highly-regarded. However, as the main character (both and neither protagonist/anti-hero at once), he shines brightly in Moonlighting, as do the other cast members whose performanes, virtually absent of dialogue, are no less compelling and inspire tremendous empathy.

Really good movie, a surprise in a sad afternoon on a french cable station ("Cine Happy", can you believe it ? Along with The Comeback !), despite its neutral realisation (live alone the two great scenes where time seems to stop, and the poetic ending). Wrhoscheit already said a lot about it and I agree, it's really rich and subtle, even if the three co-workers could have been given more interest, but the movie is mostly about the immigrant worker in general and then Novak. The idea of one work in one house is also interesting : as around them the house they work on for a rich guy becomes whiter and full of light, their lives and the situation in Poland only sink, with brief moments of hope. A great discovery

Absolutely. Bruce Willis was hilarious.
