On Thursday, I wrote a blog post comparing writing a movie to pitching a perfect game. Replayray took the time to write an interesting comment, in which he said:
i\’m not sure any movie is a perfect game. to quote Howard Hawks,\”there are no great movies,but a good movie has 3 great scenes and no bad ones\”.
His comment reminded me of a post on The A.V. Club blog entitled, My Year Of Flops Norm MacDonald’s Film Career Died For Your Sins Case File #133: Dirty Work. In it, Nathan Rabin wrote:
If a great movie is one with two great scenes and no bad ones, then Dirty Work is half a great movie. It contains more than its share of bad scenes, but it does have two brilliant ones.
What\’s your favorite half great movie?
English 
Spanish
Wag the Dog.
And all the brilliant scenes contain either Dustin Hoffman or Robert De Niro.
how about the 1st half of David Lynch's "Lost Highway"? after Balthazar Getty turns up in place of Bill Pullman in the jail cell, i couldn't help obsessing on when they replaced Samantha's husband with another "Darren" with nary a word.
