great films. And "Breathless." And.... and.... and.
And that's just from France. How to compare Tarkovsky to Eisenstein, much less Stevens or Wilder? And Chaplin to Tati? It's impossible to say who's the greatest director much less the greatest film. So many films were revolutionary for their day, but years later, after many of their "groundbreaking" ideas became commonplace, what then?
There are more than a few films that I can recognize as "great," but that I don't like. That's another discussion....
