  Believe me, it's out of rudeness that I shall not answer your question - but simply because I had written on that dozens of times already.

  I think when it comes to the lists of the Greatest there are rarely any significant variations. Most of the time it is the relative placement that is individual: is that Kubrick above Fellini or the other way around?

  Welles is among the Great, there is little doubt. My question concerned his placement at the very top - that is what I disagree with. I would certainly not consider Kane the "Best talking piecture ever made" as some call it.

    Your response is duly noted as is your rudeness. Your answer, however, gives no satisfaction, as I simply wondered about your individual taste in movies and directors. You are so verbose and quick to dismiss anything American, at the same time promoting all sorts of obscure [mostly Eastern European] films, it just made me wonder.

    After all, this is simply an exercise in personal taste, is it not? I like to know something about the critic's personal taste, in order to better understand the whole context and personal validity of his comments.

    I've seen your posts here for a long time. I've never seen you list your "great world masters of cinema". C'mon, give us 5.

    Fellini certainly wouldn't make my list. Talk about your "naive nationalism"!

      Yes, you should be spanked!
      It is not naive nationalism*..it poesie. Pure.

      * If I did it get it right in your own meaning, your answer was an intelligent ( for me ) one.
      But utterly wrong.

      ***Fellini certainly wouldn't make my list.

      Do I feel the rebelion going on here? Is Beethoven next?

        Do you really think Fellini is as important as Beethoven?

        Freddy Fellini sure created some striking imagery, but as narrative films, they are a mess. His attention to detail and general craft is suspect. I feel like I keep seeing the boom mic popping in from the top of the frame. His movies play like he is a gifted amateur.

        Rebellion? Yes, down with euro-centric artistic tyrany!

        You still haven't mentioned any of your favorite fim makers. How can we know where your tastes are without knowing where you're coming from?
