The present perfect vs the simple past
Hello everyone. I have a question.
Regarding the following two sentences:
(A) Stephen has made nine movies, and I think his latest is the best.
(B) Stephen made nine movies, and I think his latest is the best.
I think (A) is better than (B), but I'm not sure how (B) sounds to native speakers. Does it sound odd? Or is it still acceptable?
