The cinematography of films nowadays is fantastic, from a technical standpoint they leave most older films for dead.
Depends if you value 'professionalism' or 'authenticity'.
Citizen Kane wouldn't be my desert island movie either. If I had to pick one, maybe Solaris.
Best movie evah? Cul-de-sac.

I don't think that is the way we judge artworks in practice.
Neither do I (see the second half of the same comment), but I still think it's useful.

When I play wine glasses, I am underlining my words, or I am singng my poetry over the top of them. I only do it in family friendly circumstances.
That, I would like to see, but I suspect I never will. :)

I play wine glasses
Do you? How wonderful. I've been talking recently about doing that myself, but I'm not sure I could afford a set.
