Only wonks and geeks care about “cinematic language”. People like to be entertained, or moved. Why is Titanic, a long soap opera disguised in its promotion as a disaster/SFX movie, on the list at all? Or, Annie Hall?
If you’re striking that Average Joe populist tone then Titanic should be #1 since it was the highest grossing film of all time. ‘Annie Hall’ is constantly imitated by just about every Romantic comedy.
