On Thursday, I wrote a blog post comparing writing a movie to pitching a perfect game. Replayray took the time to write an interesting comment, in which he said:
i’m not sure any movie is a perfect game. to quote Howard Hawks,”there are no great movies,but a good movie has 3 great scenes and no bad ones”.
His comment reminded me of a post on The A.V. Club blog entitled, My Year Of Flops Norm MacDonald’s Film Career Died For Your Sins Case File #133: Dirty Work. In it, Nathan Rabin wrote:
If a great movie is one with two great scenes and no bad ones, then Dirty Work is half a great movie. It contains more than its share of bad scenes, but it does have two brilliant ones.
What’s your favorite half great movie?
