Another film to be remembered as a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (29 January 2005)

A movie called "Towering Inferno" took over America in the mid-70s and embedded itself into the American culture "for time immemorial". Towering Inferno was lauded, lauded, lauded and ever lauded.
In 1980, a movie called "Being There" showed up in the screens - in limited screenings - and was given very favorable reviews by the few that saw it.
Nearly 3 decades later, EVERYONE and ANYONE places "Towering Inferno" into the category of the "Independence Day" and "Jurassic Park" films: it's great entertainment.
At the same time, it's universally acknowledged by almost all that Being There is a film that turned out prescient by it's existence and still stands as a beautiful production of satire..... albeit one of beautiful forecasting satire.
3 decades later Towering Inferno is a film that is shown to the American public on the 3rd tier television stations in the media markets outside of both coasts.
Nearly 3 decades later, the little known Being There is still one of the most sought after videos amongst the specialty video carriers and is still highly lauded by film critics and film viewers everywhere.
Time has not been kind to Towering Inferno.
Time has actually caught up with Being There.
I'm fairly certain that ALMOST all of you out there is/are aware of which of the two above categories "TITANIC" will end up being placed in by history.
