Blasphemy! Rent is bloody amazing, and you, sir or ma'am or other, are a philistine!
Which is jokey over the top so you know I'm just playing, but is also true, minus the philistine part; tastes vary, and we don't all have to enjoy the same things :)
I dunno, I think if you lived through the era, even as a youngster, the story hits home harder. There's some brutal reality behind it all. Helps even the weak parts resonate for me
