The Blair Witch Project????
Exactly. I think half of them are classics, and the other half are very odd choices.
You guys are missing the point. This series isnt' entitled the greatest movies of all time. This series is called movies that shook the world. The Blair Witch project did that.It shook the world because it was shot so cheaply, I believe under 60K and it made MILLIONS. The profit margin for that movie is far greater that the billion dollar grossing Harry Potter flicks or Lord of the rings movies as though movies cost over a 100 million to make.
Thanks, Laura. I agree about the Blair Witch profit margin.
... But I'm not sure that 'profit margin' would be one of my main criteria for judging a film!
