I give 9.8 out of 10 for this movie.
First time when I watch it was after it was formally released in '98. Watched it again few days ago.
Just like any other movies, some people love it, some don't. Personally, love it even more after 23 years.
"Meet Joe Black" is not those typical romance movie or "chic flicks"... if, you pay attention to the dialogue; especially between Anthony Hopkins & Brad Pitt (about death, life & love for his daughter as a father). If you went through enough in life; then, you will appreciate and love this movie.
Understand some folks found the ending maybe a bit bizzare, but when you step back and think a bit deeper; you will understand why the script writer or the director handles the end that way.
Live life to the fullest, and try leave no regrets.
