It's the Kalevala genes. Heroic epics are our speciality.

Kalevala was fun to read. I dont know why, but our literature teacher forced us to read Kalevala.

Well, it's nice you enjoyed it but I have no idea your teacher forced you to read it.

Long ago in highschool some stupid teacher made our class watch his favorite old movie(black-n-white) and then write a report about the movie. The Waterfront - I think

The movie was just okay... dull at times... but the teacher was stupid.

On the Waterfront is considered one of the classic American films of all time.

I thought that Deliverence was the classic American film, hehe.

Back on topic, isn't Illwinter paying Shrapnel to have a pretty website? I've actually had quite a few problems these past few weeks at work trying to find supplier contacts because companies that don't even sell to the public directly had websites with more pretty than useful bits. I even broke down and called corporate HQ for a supplier to ask for the right contact number once.

First that list came from only two movie critics... not all of america. Second 75% of their "100 best of all time movies" listed were made before 1980. So when you say it's considered one of the classic films of all time... you found two people to agree with that.
Movie magazine critics hold as much value as Game magazine critics... they are just one persons view.

That article was only cited as a piece of evidence. In general, that is what it is considered. That understanding comes from a general knowledge of film. You could find many more sources which support this view. It does not mean that the whole thing is based on one article.

Brothers K is considered Doestoevskii's best novel. I could cite a source for that, but that would not mean that is the only person who thinks so. But in a general understanding of literature, that is the prevailing view.

In any case, it is not important.

It was a piece of evidence, but again it's only the view of two people making it weak evidence at best. Other sources can be found to support the opinion of those two people, but I could easily find a greater number of sources which have a different top-100 list. Point being I'm sure during the mid-80s this was an american classic, but in this century of america it's no longer in the top 100 classics for the majority of america.
