Just an open question. Movies are such a group project. In order to have a "good" one many, many things must come together (acting, directing, lighting, camara work, and on and on). What I'm interested in, is what is it, in writing, that makes a compelling tale out of simple material.Any thougts or comments appreciated.

Follow Ups:
It was about the making of the two-hour Lost pilot, essentially a movie. In fact, if ABC hadn't picked it up, it *would* have been a movie. Anyway, this extra disc (lent me by a friend) was highly insightful about how the show was conceived, written and directed.The biggest surprise: They let the actors -- i.e. the characters they created -- drive the script development. It was (forgive me) heart-warming to behold.

I would list intelligent dialog, use of foreshadowing, credible plot lines, believable characters and situations, and making the audience care about the characters. A fresh point of view doesn't hurt, either.
