Gonna go with "North by Northwest next month. The library is also doing a family movie night every other week geared more towards kids.

Blazing Saddles vs. Love Story
Caddy Shack vs Hotel Rwanda

I think we need to bring the movies a bit closer together in terms of quality.

...It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

I guess "quality" wasn't really the right word. He listed some of the most adored films in their perspective genres opposite films that were very well received by critics but aren't really films that people feel passionately about.

My point is that all of the feel good movies were better than the heavy nominated and winning Oscar movies on the right. The right side had 16 nominations with 8 wins two of the movies won best picture.
Now if you were infering that the left side is the inferior side that would be a different discussion.
