Star power certainly is missed on some here.

It's like auteur overwhelms all else for some posters, with actors being almost interchangeable.
Too bad.
For me, I can appreciate brilliant directorship, cinematography, writing, editing, etc. but, perhaps, greatest of all enjoyments is seeing a truly charismatic human being fleshing out a great role.
Many of the greatest actors, luckily, have given us more than one characterization to underline their supremacy.
Brando, Bogart, Penn, Grant, Stewart, Davis (Bette!, though Judy is a fine actress), Belmondo, Bergman...
One needs only watch "Barry Lyndon," a pretty good film that, had Kubrick been a bit more discerning, could have been great (Ryan O'Neal? Puhleeese!).
