The present invention is a multimodal polyethylene composition having (1) a density of at least about 0.940 g/cm.sup.3; (2) a melt flow index (I.sub.5) of from about 0.2 to about 1.5 g/10 mm; (3) a melt flow index ratio (I.sub.21/I.sub.5) of from about 20 to about 50; (4) a molecular weight distribution, Mw/Mn, of from about 20 to about 40; and (5) a bubble stability measured on an HS50S stationary extrusion system with an BF 10-25 die, HK 300 air ring, A8 take off, and WS8 surface winder, with a 100 mm die diameter having a 50 mm 21:1 L/D grooved feed extruder used for a film of about 6.times.10.sup.-6 m thickness of at least about 1.22 m/s line speed, at least about 45 kg/hr (0.013 kg/sec) output rate, or at least about 0.5 lb/hr/rpm (0.0000011 kg/s/rps) specific output rate or a combination thereof.
