I just watched and rated my 5,000th feature film. In case you didn’t guess the film from the title of this post, it’s The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

From 1953, this daringly odd, live-action musical-fantasy (3 stars on my 0-5 scale) was written and art-directed by Dr. Seuss and co-directed by Roy Rowland and producer Stanley Kramer. A financial and critical disaster upon release, the film has gained cult status and is today regarded as an imaginatively weird, if clunky, adventure for (smart and a slightly askew) kids of all ages.

For more information on the movie, visit Wikipedia. And for all 5,000 of my feature-film ratings, see my lists.

P.S.: I’m not really a doctor, but I play one on this website.
