influence in his work. Yet he is still classed as Mainstream because his films
gain high box-office receipts, although, at the same time, garnering ?cult?
status. The film-makers that emerged through the seventies, for example Stanley
Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Copolla and Arthur Penn, all displayed
prominent anti-Hollywood threads. Yet their box-office returns proved that the
so-called Hollywood rules of production set up in the studio years, can be
ignored and a specific effect achieved. These directors were great innovators
yet still gained huge box-office returns, which forged the alliance between the
alternative and the mainstream. Hollywood is still concerned with the economic
side of film-making yet it has been shown to be possible to innovate and also
side with the mainstream movement.
