[neverending]

It's tough to say I pass the entire group without knowing what else is in store.

Having said that, the only two I don't care for that much are Indiana Jones and Star Wars. I remember watching Star Wars during its first week of release, with a group of friends. They all loved it, but I, film snob even back then, felt it set science fiction cinema back to the Flash Gordon era, just as it was finally making strides in presenting sophisticated ideas in films such as 2001 and Silent Running. Still, C3PO, as an homage to Metropolis, was fun.

I won't argue against them.

Many years ago (MANY) I read a book contrasting the films of Woody Allen and Mel Brooks. They quoted an interview with Allen saying he wanted to elevate comedy film making; he felt that comedy films never got big budgets, and invariably looked cheap. The prevailing wisdom being that comedy didn't need a budget to be funny. Allen finally got his chance with Annie Hall, and got an Academy Award for his efforts.
