I felt like a moron because I didn't understand the ending. Fiancee had to explain it to me.

After sleeping on it, this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is my favorite genre.

Martin Scorsese usually delivers. I feel like I'm getting my monies worth when I go to see a Scorsese film. I felt like I got my monies worth with this movie.

I liked it. I don't get all of the people who say it dragged. If I remember correctly there were only like 2 people on this site who didn't really care for Inglorious Basterds (Mantooth and myself) and it definitely dragged on.

Spoiler........
I've been spending the past hour on the imdb forums trying to stop myself from committing suicide. Does anyone here actually believe that Leo's character was sane? They keep talking about this film being "open to interpretation"....NO...it's not!...it is perfectly black and white...ugh

No, it is not that he is sane the whole movie, but that he becomes sane after the treatment; he even admits as much when he admits who he is and what he has done. The question is: did he relapse at the very end of the movie while talking to Chuck/dr., or did he consciously make the decision to act crazy, so that he could have the Lobotomy, thus erasing the memory of what he did. This choice makes more sense to me, because it seems to me like the conversation about "living as a good man, or dying as a monster" plays into this line of thought.
But that is open part. Was he relapsed, or was he cured from the ordeal that he was put through, as was the goal of his doctors.
Nobody is arguing that he wasn't nuts the whole time up until the lighthouse. That was always a fabrication of his own mind.
