However, I just rented "Hard Days Night" for the prurposes of this discussion, and must say it's an okay music video. I hate almost all Beatles songs except for "Revolution" and "Hard Days Night", both of which are fantastic and tend to be on my mp3 player a lot. Anyway, aside from slighting a great movie like "The Matrix", why didn't you take a moment to comment on "Breathless" by Godard. The reviewers of "Hard Day's Night" said it pioneered "jump cuts" in 1964, however "Breathless" 4 years earlier is regarded by reviews as the pioneer of "jump cuts". Anyway, I am hopeless behind in my movie watching and have not seen "Breathless" yet, just that in my research of why "Hard Day's Night" was influencial, I keep coming across stuff like that.

Could have been better, but there's a few there that I didn't finish watching because I didn't like them. But Jeff, you disappoint me greatly. A Hard Days Night is not only delightful, but enormously influential. It's worth 20 Matrices. Halloween and Jaws, well, they're more there for historical purposes, being the roots of the Horror-Slasher-Franchise film and the Hollywood-FX-Blockbuster. 72.

Also what's with Jaws, Halloween & Hard Day's night...? *gag*. That list has a Saturday afternoon “I’m bored”/headache feel to it, especially without “The Matrix” and some other notables and anime.
