[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Best overall"? For a philosopher or a business major? Someone who likes snow or heat? Someone who's preppy or hippy (or whatever the current terms are)? Someone who wants to talk about ideas, or someone who wants to spend Saturday at the Big Game, or someone who wants both?[/quote]

People like you are so annoying and unhelpful. Which do YOU think is best overall? just pick one. When someone asks what's your favorite movie, do you give them a rapid fire list of comedy or drama? full length or short film? Foreign or domestic?? It's exhausting[/quote]

It's not unhelpful, it's the truth. How could anyone possibly give a helpful answer to that broad and useless question? Notably, OP didn't ask for people's "favorite" school (lord help us, er'd get 400 different answers), OP asked for the "best overall" that is "attainable" for a smart kid. No one can answer this broad, subjective question.

And yes, even when someone actually does ask for your 'favorite" movie, that's too broad of a question for people who know a lot about movies. Sure, some people will say "The Notebook" without giving it a second thought, but OP might quickly say, "Ew, no, I mean a non chick-flick." To which the reponse might be "Die Hard," but the OP says, no, no, no, too much violence! And so on.

If the question were for the "best overall movie" with no other criteria, then people would look to the Oscars Best Picture list and pick their favorite among those. To which OP would say, no, don't use the rankings. And around we go.[/quote]
