When I was replying to your earlier post I started to think about my favorite films. Surely some of them must be American? Well... kind of, but not really. "Vertigo" is an American film made by a native of England. "2001" is a British film made by an American native. "Lawrence of Arabia?" Well, made with American financing but not really an 'American Film.' "M"? Nope. "Metropolis"? Nope. "Anatomy of a Murder"? Well, Preminger wasn't exactly from Iowa. Not that that's what's required for someone to be 'American.' Far from it. But you'd think that there would be a batch of truly great films (insights into human nature, with maybe even a message, cautionary or otherwise) made by American born filmakers financed by American money, produced in America. It really doesn't seem to be the case. We can ride along with 'Citizen Kane,' 'Patton,' and some Bogart film noir for only so long.
