Second time in like 10 pages that i’ve referenced Citizen Kane, funny enough, I’ve never actually seen it. Though know enough from popculture, whether the “Rosebud” or the screeching bird so people didn’t pass out from boredom. Generally I’ve found every “classic” to be unwatchably bad, so when people say its the greatest movie I steer clear because I know it isn’t the “best” just the FIRST and firsts usually are way overrated.
That happens a lot especially with movies that are more relevant to their era. It’s easier to find good movies in someone’s favorite list than simply going critically acclaimed things.
I went to film school, and people were really surprised that I didn’t like Kubrick movies, especially 2001.
My list of favorites is always changing, but can pretty much say Princess Bride, Labyrinth, and Goonies would be up at the top regardless of what I am feeling at a given moment.
May i recommend Citizen X? it’s a true crime movie about the first Soviet Serial Killer, or, more accurately, the two primary officers responsible for catching him.
