The Katherine test may well be a narrow criterion, but I don't watch movies as intellectual exercises, I see them (and own hundreds*) because I ENJOY watching them. K wonders how I can watch 'Star Wars' the umpteenth time, but I love it every time I see it. Same with 'Limbo' and 'The Godfather' and 'Knockaround Guys**' and 'Nobody's Fool' and...

** HIGHLY recommended. Vin Diesel is fabulous in this role, done before he became a 'star'. He plays his character very understatedly.
