Gosford Park (unintelligible dialog), Harry Potter (shiny crapola), Monster's Ball (Halle the only highlight), Chicago (cut! cut! cut!), Rabbit Proof Fence (pack o' lies)... Don't know what this says about your thesis...

(1) What about the others I mentioned?
(2) The original point was the the film industry released so many better films back in it's heyday, and all the great films have disappeared. So, to prove the original "thesis", pick any year before, let's say, 1955 (1939 would be too easy), and give me ten very good or great films made in any given year, as I requested.
(3) How was Rabbit Proof Fence a pack of lies? After all, there are many who say that there was no extermination of Jews. I would like to know whether it is a pack of lies merely because it does not fall into your world view.
(4) Gosford Park - I understood it just fine.
