Thanks for your list. [In reply to] Can't Post
 I've only seen two of those films (Simpson's & A Beautiful mind), but I wouldn't be surprised if
more European films also would follow the same basic structure as Mc Kee's script formula. As long as it isn't too glaringly noticeable, it doesn't matter too much. That was my problem with Jackson, because sometimes you could feel how he had adjusted the story turns to the script rules.

Also, I'd like to add, what has made some films truly great for me, hasn't been just the story, but the lighting, the immediacy of the acting, the careful pacing, the camera movement and so on. These are the things that make some movies great or exceptional, while others are just good.
