Was it good? I've been wanting to see that movie. Wished I had known it was on that night.

I LOVED IT!!! One of my favorite all time movies....love psychological thrillers.

DeCaprio was amazing in it.

No spoilers hopefully for those that haven't seen it yet.

Lotus, I agree he was very good in it. I just hated how the story unfolded. I've also been to Dachau and literally got sick there.

The fact that AMC had a commercial every 10 minutes didn't help the flow of the movie.

I have mixed feelings about the movie. I saw it in the theater so no doubt it had to be better than seeing it chopped up.

I must confess, this discussion site did clear up a few things I missed or questioned.

I Dvr'd' it so we can watch with no commercials. We watched "The Making of a Lady" again last night, on PBS. Very good, scary.

I like psych thrillers as well and this one was pretty good!

I rented it when it first came out on dvd.

A Fantastic Movie!....Leonardo DiCaprio is a wonderful actor and long overdue for an Oscar and to be recognized!

Check out Revolutionary Road...He and Kate Winslet are fantastic together...another great movie!

Geez, I'm in the minority BIG TIME. Maybe I should watch it again.

I did love Revolutionary Road.

lulu2....I can understand where at the end of Shutter Island you and your husband were kind of like....What The Heck!...(webbie wouldn't accept the initials...lol)....It took me a while also to gather everything together....It was really one of the best psychological thrillers I have ever seen....I actually saw it twice to be able to digest it all....very well done!

Thank you. I was really starting to wonder what was wrong with us. I do think it would have been an entirely different movie had we watched it commercial free. As I said earlier, the Dachau scenes were so upsetting as I toured the camp and became physically ill. (it was snowing, no less)

We are definitely going to watch it again.

Thank you everyone for your responses.

LOVED Shutter Island. I saw it in the theatre, which made it even more suspenseful. I do think it's a movie you need to watch without interruption.
