Yeah, I didn't like DZ either. I just don't get why it makes so many top movie lists.

I have to say I think the cinematography is good.

I think most Hollywood likes it for the scene where the people in the fancy restaurant are listening to the workers sing the "Internationale". They know what's coming two reels later.

What the Hollywood lefties don't understand is that they're the ones in the fancy restaurant and when their beloved revolution comes, they'll be the first in line to be shot.

Idiots.

It makes those lists because (a.) it looks so good and (b.) it's so "big."

I know I'm inviting flames with what I'm about to say, but here goes anyway ... I think "Gone With The Wind" falls into the same category, although I love "GWTW" and can watch it over and over again, where I have to work to get through "Zhivago."

"GWTW" looks good and is a "big" movie and, I'll concede, has a lot more sprightly plotline than "Zhivago," but "GWTW" ends up on a lot of "greatest movies of all time" lists, too, and IMHO it doesn't belong there. Even though I love it, and I think it rightfully has a place among the Top 25 or Top 30 movies of all time, I don't think it's among the elite.
