One factor I consider in rating a movie is how vividly one remembers it years after seeing it. And not just the movie itself, I remember the experience of seeing it, and how incredibly moved I was by what was happening on the screen. I saw "Solomon and Gaenor" only once over six years ago, and it still fills me with it's powerful images and story. I have recommended it to friends on numerous occasions, not just because it's a great movie and story, but because of it's historical aspects, telling of the Orthodox Jewish community in turn of the century Ireland (or Wales, not sure), and how they got along (or didn't) with their non-Jewish neighbors. But as I said, incredibly memorable.
