“Some memorable popular films have great acting; others have great direction or great special effects or great action scenes. Still others have great camera movement, editing, lighting, music, costumes, or set design. But it is feelings that lie at the heart of all memorable popular films, and quotes such as those above can be found in nearly all memorable popular films. When the feelings of the filmmakers, the feelings of the characters, and the feelings of the audience come together, there is the opportunity for greatness.”

From Howard Suber’s The Power of Film (Michael Wiese Productions, 2006; on page 162)
