"I felt the cast and dialog made up for the lack of action and special effects." -Tiffany Normandin reviewing the film "The Dish"

I look at it the other way around. A lot of movies skimp on dialogue and plot, relying heavily on "eye candy" for their success. The best movies do both. I occasionally watch older movies like Casablanca, The Seven Samurai, or Lawrence of Arabia that contain their fair share of action, but devote more time to plot, relationships, and character development. I should warn you though, Lawrence of Arabia is something like 4 hours long. Just when you think it should be ending there is a 10 minute intermission in the film. I had to watch it over a span of three days.
