In Reply to: 80 years after it was made..... and IMO is STILL the greatest... posted by TWB on July 15, 2019 at 21:53:55:
You might enjoy broadening your prospective.
It was a prize winning movie, but greatest ever is a big statement. I prefer comedies myself, and have enjoyed many films that I consider equal or better than your choice.
the first one that comes to mind is a film with gable, "it happened one night" , I think it just as good , just older. Or now that I am thinking of black and white movies, the great classic, the grand illusion , although silent, is easily a top film.
i don't quarrel your personal opinion, but there are so many great movies out there, selecting this one suggests you favor old hollywood big production stuff in technicolor. fine with me, but your statement is much like selecting the best book or best sculptor ever made.
