That's why I put the Lord of the Rings in all of my lists, cause they were bold enough to put all their efforts into creating something new and that is what makes History, pushing technology to the limit and seeing what comes out of it. To me that's what makes a movie worthy of being in the Top 10, taking risks and creating new paths to achievement. I think both Orson Welles and Chaplin would agree with me on this one.  |
I'm not accusing you of anything. And you're right about older movies being story-based, which are the ones that stand the test of time. New movies have all kinds of crutches to lean on in lieu of good writing.
