  A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Isn't is always possible to stae that a film is "best" and then see a better film?

      No, I don't. In the essay, "Self Reliance", Emerson himself does not specify this. I would imagine that a foolish person would cling to a consistent notion even when presented with evidence that negated his belief(s).

    ...to see matters descend so quickly to super-ugly name calling. Jeez, this is just movies we're talking about, not the war-of-the-week.

    Actually, I should have done a little better job of phrasing my question. Or waited a little while after razzing you. I was through with that. My question was meant to be considered more philosophically, not a continued piling on.

    I was trying to frame a discussion about the futility of "best" lists and gross comparative declarations but I see the futility of that. People want to do more than talk about movies here. It's another way to compete. To display. I can dig it.

    Most movies, best movies, first movies, biggest movies, latest movies. Yum, yum. LOL.

    I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry that I pointed it out when you stepped on your dick. I still wanna be your movie buddy. ;-)

    Here's a chance for you and Vic and Patrick to pound me. I'll display something: a little courage and some intellectual honesty. I liked Borat. I laughed when he did stupid, gross, mean and childlike things to those poor innocent people. Like Chaplin, Keaton, Fields, Larry, Moe, Curly and Mr. Bean used to do.

  a slight poke in the ribs, rico...).
  Now, go get "Oedipus Rex." It's a crime that film doesn't get mentioned in more "one of the best" film lists.
