I didn't say ou where. Just that's the typical answer they will give.

If we look at all the movie makers who say these are the most important movies in hsistory and how much it affected them, and then look at their movies. It's quite clear they mostly say that because its expected and their movies don't have a shred of these supposed inspirations in them.

These are so called intellectual movies who people like to say they like and inspire them because they are supposedly better then less "intellectual"movies(a theory I don't subscribe to either), meanwhile if we analyse it, we see that the less intellectual reader audience "simpler" movies have a much bigger real impact on the movie industry and even the world.

Yes for some the intellectual movies offers a better movie experience, like some prefer to read War and Peace over Tom Clancy. It doesn't make one better than the other.

You're scratching the surface with prejudge. It's not about intellectualism, if that was the case then Tarkovsky or Bergman movies would be the only measure sticks among the industry and Haneke would be the only director that matters today. That's not the case of course.

It's about cinematographic techniques, narrative strategies. How cinema is crafted today is a legacy by these movies and these directors. Just as war & epic movies camera work has been inspired by Kurosawa. That doesn't mean that these movies are Kurosawa-like.

Guy, you are doing exactly the same that you did comparing the Xbox360 Kinect Sensor against the PSeye, and I told you that you need to look beyond the specifications.
