Since all these films were released within the last year or so, I guess that indicates that we have acheived the pinnacle of cinematic civilization.

How about The Wizard Of Oz? To say it was what 1937? It's remarkably fresh still.....

The mere fact that it is now the root of so many cliches is testament to its total permeation of our consciousness. It is also one of the few cases where I think the film is a lot better than the book.

New Page 1 The heading on this string (too thin to be a thread) was "The Greatest Films Recently Made" hence the response of recent movies, some of the greatest film(s) EVER made are: The Whiz - OK just kidding (The Wizard of Oz as noted by several is probably #1) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest The Bridge Over River Kwai One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Over-Rated? by Kid Loco on 2000-08-31 09:36:14  |  Reply to this   I've never really enjoyed it. Still, that's not to say it's a poor film, by any means.... Re: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Over-Rated? by [no name] on 2000-08-31 11:25:20  |  Reply to this   It reminded me of my childhood...

Memories are good, and especially those of childhood. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? Fair Enough....
