I think genres is the next step. Best film is very tricky.

What!? You are all STEM guys! The very essence of STEM is to find out how things work surely?
The wawawhhh I think is a guy doing falsetto not a woman.
The piano for the duel is actually played on guitar but not a regular one. It has a banjo twang to it.
Also the soprano that accompanies this ( beautiful tone and I don't like warbler opera) is played on a trumpet, possibly piccolo.
I could be wrong on details so mystery restored.
After watching the video several times I decided I need to see these guys, they do all sorts of really cool stuff.

but then there is "the willing suspension of disbelief". I will try and forget this.
Because a bit ot spoilt a lot of films for me since I visited a studio and found out how they… nah, it wouldn't do you any good to know.

That is the main reason I do not understand how anybody of today is so fascinated by an eclipse as they seemingly are. I understand why our ancestors have been, but since we know it is a simple shadow, these people must go nuts on a sunny day with all those shadows around!

There are many good quotes from movies, but I want to take the opportunity to honor one of the kings of funny one-liners, Arnold Schwarzenegger
I just stumbled on this new clip with Arnold and Linda Hamilton, it was with quotes and it's funny :smile::

“You may be lost, but you are not forgotten. For those who have traveled far to fight in foreign lands, know that the soldier’s greatest comfort is to have his friends close at hand. In the heat of battle it ceases to be an idea for which we fight, or a flag. Rather, we fight for the man on our left and we fight for the man on our right. And when armies have scattered and when the empires fall away, all that remains is the memories of those precious moments that we spent side by side.”

I have seen one, or rather I was in one. It was very strange, besides being dark on a summer's day all the animals freaked out then went silent. Lake Balaton Hungary.

Interstellar too, the music is great and the idea is pretty original I think.
Also there is a film called 'Frequency' with Denis Quaid which is interesting and should be considered for my top 20.
Anyway movie quotes.
The scene:
A guy (not the smartest) falls for a girl and thinks the way to her heart is to buy her the breast enlargement surgery she wants.
The way to fund that is to extort money from an FBI agent who accidentally left a classified file in the gym.
He arranges to meet the agent, Osborne Cox, in his car to do the deal..
The line I like begins, 'you think that bi..'
