well, i'd prefer to watch Hepburn & Grant in _Bringing Up Baby_; and i think Stewart is better when he's not *just* being nice (it's more interesting if there are complications) - especially in _The Man from Laramie_, also _Vertigo_. whereas 8½ is clearly Fellini's best film. so 8½ is better. OTOH, i've never seen more than a minute or 2 of Buffy, so i can't really compare it to anything. -- Phil Lanch 0xD78D598DA6635CF32AB24593C98994B7D95B33E3 (i even know the passphrase: http://www.subtle.clara.co.uk/rephrase ) "If I knew then what I know now, I would have said 'I don't recall'."
