I guess I would agree, a movie can have a stupid plot but still have really fun or thoughtful writing.

And some movies have the foundation of a solid, great plot but then suffer absolute garbage execution like 1BR.

The fundamental most important part of a film is how it looks. Anyone who disagrees doesn't properly appreciate the medium.

If a movie doesnt have good writing then it has nothing.
But is writing *really* indicative of the quality of the plot? Writing is one vehicle through which the plot is delivered but it's not the sole means to do so.

Those movies all have plots, mr zithers

not really.

lol north by northwest also decides to mute the conversation where cary grant and john williams (? might be someone else whoops) discuss the plot of the movie to explain why everything to that point happened. cuz plot isnt important.

Disagree. Plot drives other elements, like character development. I can't really enjoy a movie, book, or anything else without a good plot.

Different movies have different focuses. Some great movies don't need plot, like Rio Bravo in particular (edit: just noticed this in post 10), but others decide to focus on plot and that's not a bad thing

what are some good movies that focus primarily on plot

it should be the other way around. characters should drive the plot.

Writing and sense of humor is more important

Even in non comedies

sure writing can be important but that's not necessarily plot
