'Stagecoach'

Fun fact: John Ford's "Stagecoach" was the first talkie western.

"Stagecoach" is further proof that I might be an idiot. At least, when it comes to judging and appreciating films. Frankly, "Stagecoach" doesn't do anything for me. It's a cool western and all. John Wayne is John Wayne. It's adventurous and all that jazz.

Yet, it's considered one of the best films ever. Like ever, ever.

According to Orson Welles, it's the perfect way to make a film. And he watched it more than 40 times while filming "Citizen Kane." All of this according to Wikipedia, actually, so none of it may be true, but who the hell makes this shit up? Welles clearly has a different point of view of good filmmaking.

Today's filmmakers are critized as having run out of ideas. Meaning, attempts to remake films from 1970s TV shows wears people down making them think no one's doing anything original or even worthwhile.

Well, this isn't new. In 1966, they took of the "best films ever made" and remade it. With Slim Pickens, Red Buttons and Bing Crosby. "The A-Team" doesn't seem so bad.
