Makes good film? I mean of a certain quality?
Some makes a good movie and then mostly trash. So it was just a stroke of luck and just happen to touch the nerve of time.In my view a really good one ALWAYS has a certain " intresec " quality in almost all of his work.
And that, baby, makes the differences.
Follow Ups:
Patrick,Some of his sub-standard films are brilliant compared to the shit today.
Even if I do sleep through Red Beard...it still has more depth to it than every Spielberg film combined.

"I think this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell em you're Jewish"
What should I say? I agree 100%!
For example, look at Peckinpah's later work...low budgets, bad scripts, mis-cast actors...and a director addled by alcohol and drugs and sour rage...yet still lit by that "film sense" you speak of...that intrinsic quality that makes even the worst hash by a great film director worth a look. To paraphrase James Agee, I'll take the worst by a great director over the best by the hacks any day.Even in an awful film like "Convoy", there are the breath-taking shots of the big rigs moving across the desert at the bottom of the frame, with the blue sky filling up the rest of the frame...the sad-eyed Cassie Yates...and the fight in the diner that hints for just a moment at what Peckinpah can do with action.
Not always, as the exception who confirm the rule, but mostly. And Monsieur Agee was more than right...
