I still think Murray's Razor's Edge is one of the greatest coming of age, life lesson, philosophy movies. It made me think and more importantly it made me curious about world outside my bubble, about people's motivations, about the point of life and how I should live mine. In a phrase it woke me up. Thanks.

It's too bad audiences couldn't get past expectations for a slapstick comedy.

I have avoided seeing the movie because the book is so good. If you haven't read it I highly recommend it.

I read the book and I still really liked the movie. I think it was done pretty well. Book was better but it always is I guess.

One title to prove you wrong: Orlando.

If you liked Razor's Edge I would highly recommend Maugham's magnus opus, Of Human Bondage. That book blew me away.
