...in their collective wisdom, what film does it all better:

1. in music

2. in photography

3. in story-telling

4. in acting

5. in pure human warmth

6. in the merging of era-in-history with timelessness

YES, you're right: I've seen fewer movies/films than most. It's hard for me to even regard film as an art form (the medium seems too gimicky and gadget-oriented and too 'team-filled' i.e., too many cooks involved in the "production"). HENCE, my surprise that ONE film stands out.

NO, you're partially wrong, however: I've seen several (but not many many) of the classics and greats and I've been severely 'under-whelmed'.

I'll give your criticism half-validity.

Guyesqueness.
