Films: Who should get the credit?

When many of us consider the work that goes into movies, we generally stop at the actors involved. Upon thinking about, partly on my own, and partly due to another class, I don't think that's fair.

So much work goes into all movies. Sound, lighting, writing, directing, prop making, etc. So many of the people responsible for these things go completely unrecognized. When is the last time that you heard two people talking about their favorite sound engineers?

I think, when discussing movies, at least from an analytical standpoint, we really should take all aspects of the film into account. To overlook one part of what makes a film great is to minimize the over all work, I think.
