I have to disagree. Citizen Kane is not a good movie.

It is a freakin' great movie. It is, I say with comfort, the greatest English movie ever made. Even if there is debate it is where the movie should be in the top five.

Saying Citizen Kane is a good movie is like saying the Mona Lisa is a decent drawing or Michael Jordan was a fair basketball player.

My mouth fell open reading this. Then I read on.

CK is my favorite. Ever.

Also, I'm glad to hear that iSm and I finally agree on a movie! The rest of you should see Little Miss Sunshine, too.

Just for the record/reminder. I did see it a few weeks ago and agree with what everybody has said. So far I know only one person who saw it and didn't like it.

The problem I have with CK is that I can't take my eyes off of it when it's on. If it's on TCM, I stop and watch. My DVD is pretty worn out, too.

LSPE, are you reading the O Wells bio by ... shoot... now I cant think by who. The actor with the funeral in Four Weddings and a Funeral.

I follow on the advice... see Little Miss Sunshine!!
No question!

Is that me?

Alex · 08-23-2006, 10:06 AM

No. I wasn't aware you had seen it. I take it you didn't like it?

I just wasn't that into the plot. I've only seen it once at a screening for a film class.

Oh. The bit you quoted from me was in response to LSPE and Little Miss Sunshine, not Citizen Kane. I'm sure that when I know hundreds of people who have seen Little Miss Sunshine as I do with Citizen Kane I'll know more than one who didn't like it (as I do with Citizen Kane).
