We don't see eye-to-eye on this one, Groucho.
I have not truly liked a Spielberg film since Schindler's List...14 years ago!

I assume by the pretentious comment trix was referring to yosh and makeshift pretending their taste is better than anyone else's. Not everyone's, just your's.  Thanks for confirming my point There is really nothing that says you have > or < taste than me, trix, Zingaling, or that schlub across the street.

You are obviously free to place whomever you like on your list, Gullimont. But Edgar Wright? And what's a Neil Marshall?
