How about Mulholland Drive versus Silence of the Lambs? Silence may not be nearly as ambitious, but I'll take it over Mulholland Drive any day. The Thin Red Line is more ambitious and thematically deep than Saving Private Ryan, but I know you prefer the latter by a mile. I'm not saying ambition and theme aren't things worth pursuing, they certainly are. But to say a film is better just because it's more ambitious/thematic is, in my opinion, ridiculous.

Now that, I can agree with.

With all that said, I still feel like The Dark Knight is better than Avengers, but I can see why people would prefer The Avengers.

All that, and he ends up agreeing with me anyways. You're lucky I consider you a friend, or else I wouldn't do anything.
