A friend of mine entered in a video contest. If her school wins, they'll receive some well needed funding. So take a few seconds and vote for Radford University!

I dont think any one of those elements is more important than the other.

[domotime2]

Well what I look for most in a movie is originality....so I guess content to me is the most important.

[zachff]

Wtf is "content?"

[nerdvglc]

Wtf is "content?"
you know, happiness. as in, whether or not the movie is content with itself.

[fran.182]

Script. I have no doubt it is the most important thing in a film, to me.

[flks511]

This is a strange poll.

[Zippedychick]

Script.

[Brokenhill]

I voted for them all.

I suppose the most important would be the direction...not just what we are shown, but how. The 2nd most important thing would be casting probably, then the script, then the filming. To me, content fits into directing.

you think the cast is more important than a good script? well i bet you were a big fan of robert deniro in "everybody's fine"

also i assume that by "filming" you mean cinematography?

[E. Clectic]

This is the ummm...oddest?... poll ever.

Mostly because of the terrible phrasing and word choice.

[jwicklun]

all are pretty important.

[Brokenhill]

I wouldn't even notice that the script was good if the acting was below average. Never seen that movie.

my point is its robert deniro in a menopausal chick flick

[abandonship]

Script? Really hard to choose just one thing.

[roughroads]

They all rely too much on each-other to answer.

[Macbeth.]

hard to say, but script when it comes down to it.

[Macbeth.]

Script > Director > Actor > Cinematography

Although, they're all of course vital.

[Daigle lol]

you know, happiness. as in, whether or not the movie is content with itself.

hahahahhaha.

I voted all, because they're all pretty damn important. If one of these sucks, it detracts from the movie.

[Kurt Retenauer]

Script and director.

[himynameiszack]

hahahahhaha.

This.

[sleepyseanzzz]

effects?

[introduction]

everything is important.

[davo638]

I believe they are all as important as each other, but when it comes to acting and script I think the actors are slightly more significant as a great actor can make a so-so script seem good on screen (i.e. the movie It's Complicated - Meryl Streep).

[Alex DiVincenzo]

All of them are important, obviously, but I'd say a good script is the core to any good film. Although they can make a bad script watchable, even the greatest of directors and actors can't make a great movie without the right script.

[sdisticsquirrel]

all aspects are important, but i went with script because a great script can turn someone like Colin Farrell into an actor... ahem... In Bruges...

more importantly, it says only 231 people have voted, but it's closer to 600.

[xapplexpiex]

All of the above.

[Debut_Fin]

Script for me, then actors.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

By "filming,'' did you mean ''photography''?

[optimusrob]

all of the above

[Say Nothing]

Where the fuck is characters? And they all do....It takes more than just one of these...

[FBTMOPenguins]

All of the above fuck arguing about it, however who cares all of this is based on opinion. What's shitty to someone could be great to someone else.

[rhinitus]

this is sort of like asking what makes a super bowl-winning team - quarterback, offense, defense, coaching, or condfitioning

[SeanEBoy2686]

who wouldn't vote for all the options?

[CarouselBoy]

so maybe the question should have been "what's the most important element of a good film?".

[phillycheese37]

I selected all. OP should try making it a one-selection poll.
