Not to mention that narration can really put us in a mood to appreciate that we‘re watching a story, just in visual instead of printed form. Fight Club and The Shawshank Redemption are a couple of my personal favorite examples of narrative use.

Not to mention my favorite use of narration in film: Ray Liotta AND Lorraine Bracco in Goodfellas, which I just noticed does not have ONE mutant review.

I'm not the only one who noticed the absence of Goodfellas then...

Anyway, narration can put a very interesting spin on films, especially when the narrator has a mental disorder. However, it doesn't necessarily make movies better. Example: Titanic. There wasn't MUCH narration in that, but then again, I don't think there was much that could be done to save that movie...
