no...

only thing i do wonder about is, comedy films, that aren't particularly well remembered, like say Austin Powers 2. You can be in the cinema watching them, laughing all the way through... and how many films can provide that sort of constant entertainment, and why don't we rate this movie very highly?

to which i say
1. it's hard not to laugh when other people about you are laughing
2. the story and dialogue isn't really that important, and those things are the essence of, you know, art and stuff
3. quite often we just laugh at dumb shit anyway

so Rushmore and Dr. Strangelove get a pass, but Austin Powers 2 doesn't... even though i probably laughed more the latter

(although that was the only one i saw in the cinema)
