Trivia:
We are told that John Lennon was living in the Manhattan building called The Dakota, where Rosemary's Baby (1968) was filmed in 1968 - directed by Roman Polanski, whose pregnant wife, the actress Sharon Tate, was murdered in 1969. The murderers were Charles Manson and his followers, who titled their death spree "Helter Skelter" after the 1968 song by The Beatles.

No, this isn't a "perfect" movie, but nevertheless it was done the right way. I wasn't sure if I was going to manage to buy the skinny little Jared Leto as the fat and crazy Mark David Chapman, but dammit, Jared Leto proved me wrong. Gaining an actual 70lbs for the role not withstanding, Leto really captured the creepy vibe and attitude of M.D.C. in a haunting way. This film had good dialogue, and from what I could tell was devoid of any anachronisms. This is just a downright good film. From the Jared Leto's creepy performance to any number of the hundreds of Catcher in the Rye references flying around this movie, it really, in my mind at least, captures the whole story in a very profound and weird way. I'm voting this movie easily as 7/10, and it may have even been an 8/10 had I been in a better mood at the time.
