Underrated and overrated films (and other general filmy chat)

I did not mean to offend you. I am a creative professional in entertainment also, who has steered his career to follow the money rather than stand as a purist not making a living. Screenwriting is a profession rather than a fine art, and so I assumed you would want what you write produced and get paid. I’m certain that many sophisticated Hollywood writers of the 30’s-60’s would rather not have written Westerns, but that was where the money was. If I were a screenwriter interested in SF I would be writing time travel too, since that’s what gets produced. The NYTimes had an article recently noting 2 more time travel series on top of them many already on the air.
