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. 
Woody Allen, Peter Jackson, Spielberg... maybe even James Cameron...? |
Orson Welles literally had carte blanche and final cut... a bold and unheard of deal for a first-time director. Even Woody Allen and Peter Jackson show dailies to studio execs. George Lucas doesn't have to because he owns the studio he directs for.
