It would still be interesting to do that excersice but with more recent movies. I do think the formula works quite well.

As for the Joker I wasn't agreeing with the critics just describing the consensus based on reviews I've heard. To me personally it did feel like it took a bit too much inspiration from the movies it was trying to pay tribute to. When does a homage becomes a copy?

The political angle is irrelevant and I agree with you on that.

They’re both movies about disaffected young men in an urban setting. I don’t follow that it’s a copy beyond that. Their plots aren’t all that similar. Lots of movies have similar themes.
