Best Movie Ever - Show and Tell

When I was an undergraduate living in London, I saw Cinema Paradiso for the first time. The ending was the most beautiful completion to a movie I've ever seen, and I cherish the feelings I got the first time witnessed it in the Prince Charles of Picadilly Circle as much as the emotions I felt finding this tonight. Years later, the director released a new cut of the film and it was a disaster. The edits completely changed the story and I was crestfallen in disappointment. I've lived a great portion of my life to the music of this masterpiece and my journey has been happier because of it. I also found out that Josh Groban has added his voice to the movie now. Ah, You Tube. Who'd a thunk it?
