But the chips for these are designed in Bangalore and came in papers some days back. Apparently, nobody had any clue. Or was it just me? :( http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7142

What makes a movie interesting?

Over the last couple of months I've seen quite a number of old movies..classics according to every review. Citizen Kane, A Touch of Evil, Clockwork Orange, Lord of the Flies, and a whole lot from Hitchcock. In many cases I ended up not even watching the movie fully..Makes me wonder what makes these movies classics. Anyone here have a similar experience? What makes a movie interesting, and what can makes it worthwhile after a couple of decades? Clearly, some of the comedies are still very good - Charlie Chaplin, Marx brothers, etc. Do the movies that tackle social issues necessarily lose relevance with time? However there have been a few like To Kill a Mockingbird which somehow are still good..
