Your GOAT List
Isn't it something when a clash of cinematic titans turns into a referendum on what defines a great film? In one corner, 'Hitchcock' (2012), a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of 'Psycho', pitting Anthony Hopkins in a portrayal of the eccentric genius. In the other, 'Nixon' (1995), where Hopkins delves into the complex psyche of one of America's most controversial presidents. This isn't just about which film tells a better story; it's about whether we gravitate more towards a portrayal of artistic madness or the unraveling of political power. Which lens of history do fans value more—the lens pointed at ourselves or at those who lead us?
