Midterm Exam

"Hollywood seems to miss the point that great movies are works of art and an audience will find their way to them if the characters and subject matter are compelling."

What do you feel is the greatest movie of all time? Your midterm exam is a paper of 2-3 pages that explains, with research:

            1. What was great about this film?

            2. What elements of the film leave a lasting impression on the viewer?

            3. What makes this an enduring movie for all time?

This movie does not have to be your personal favorite, and I am NOT looking for a plot review, I am asking what makes it the best movie ever.

This may be a movie that you have not seen, rather you have read about and perhaps should see as part of writing this assignment.
