Gene asked a variety of stars how they would make a better movie. He talked to Danny Devito, Jim Carrey, Sharon Stone, Tom Hanks, Robert Zemeckis, Hugh Grant, Angela Lansbury, Samuel L. Jackson, Sophia Lauren, and Arnold Schwarzenegger

To be fair, I disagree with them on Shallow Grave seeing as how it’s one of the best British films of the 1990s and it even marked the cinematic directorial debut of Danny Boyle who would go on to direct great films like Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire.
Does Hollywood really not understand that Jaws and Star Wars were made from the heart? Does Hollywood really not understand why The Flintstones was rightfully panned by critics? Does the press even understand the quality of the movies?
