When I get that chill down my spine as I watch a touching, great scene.

Ashton Kutcher! That's why Dude Where's My Car is the only film that's better than any of the GF saga.

Hey, how's it going?

I supose what makes a great film is it's resonance, the ideas it tries to give us, the charecters and the stories it creates.
That's really the only way i can describe it.

A film may be great for me. This doesn't make it a great film tout court. Otherwise, they would not keep on making a fool out of me just because I find "While you were sleeping" to be a great film!
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)

Timing,
Is the film out at the right time,
and does it pass the test of time

If you'll analyse your impressions, you'll find it. And if there's a reason to dislike it, then maybe it's not so great? It may be a very good movie, but greatness oblige... Personally, I agree with you absolutely - I'd never call LOTR a great movie.
keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open.
