According to the British Film Institute, anyway. The big news would be that Vertigo is now number one, ahead of Citizen Kane.

  1. I think I really need to watch Citizen Kane.

  2. Our local NPR station has a summer movie series where they show classic movies at a brew house (movies with beer and food that waiters brings to you in the theater). They showed Citizen Kane a few weeks ago. And so my first viewing of CK was on a big screen, and it was damned amazing.

  3. Citizen Kane is amazing because it feels very much like a modern film in how it’s story is told. It seems really out of place when compared to other films of the time.

    Also, Orwel played Unicorn so he gets extra props from me.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
