What makes a Film a BlockBuster?

These were all Box office hits and classics combined. They combined realism with great drama. We see  ordinary people on the big screen doing what 'we' the ordinary people do. This is why reality TV is so popular. We want to see ourselves on TV.

We want to know we are not different, that we are not alone and that our faults, insecurities and fears are shared. If a Director can tap into our fears, our needs and our wants then they can create a masterpiece.

So much so I can't even name them. A film has to be really good  for me to consider wasting 2hrs sitting motionless in front of it. Good script, excellent direction, acting and drama will hold my attention and nothing less will do.
