magnum opus (MAG-num OH-puhs) noun (plural magnum opuses or magna opera)
A great work of literature, music, art, etc., especially the finest
work of an individual.
[From Latin magnum, neuter of magnus (large), opus (work).
What do you consider a magnum opus of your favourite composer, writer, director?
I feel that Jerry Bruckenhimer (one of my favorite action directors) created his magnum opus in the series "CSI" and not specifically in his movies that he has directed. Not high art and I am not aiming for that, but how many people enjoy the series?
