Phrased it too strongly: by an reasonable definition of the word "great," there have been many great movies--"top to bottom and inside out." Godfather II does stand alone for me: the story became real to me. My second favorite movie would have to be listed at number three for that reason.
One thing that brought the quality of this year's movie into high relief for me was my research for my second novel, set in 1967. Check the list of that year's top 20 movies and let me know if your reaction isn't, "Dear God."Â
