Nun ja, eine wörtliche Übersetzung ist das gerade nicht. Aber den Sinn sollte es treffen.

agree  Thomas Pfann: Gefällt mir und ich denke, genauso ist es gemeint (der ultimative Kinofilm). Spielberg hat schon mal ein ähnliches Zitat über 'Star Wars' gebracht: „With "Star Wars", George (George Lucas) put the butter back into the popcorn.“
