I went through a phase for a while were I was renting a bunch of them just so I could finally see them, which is when I saw Casablanca, plus Apocalypse Now, and The Godfather, and some others I forget, but then I sort of got bored of it, or busy, or whatever.

Well, it musn't be _homework_.

Right, of course. I think part of the problem was that I hadn't been finding any of the classics I picked to be all that interesting.

Citizen Kane is good, but I love Orson Welles. and Chinatown is seriously dark. Kiss me Kate is only fun if you like movie mosucials of the non-glittering kind, which you may not.

I, along with everyone ever, already know the secret of the ending of Citizen Kane, so I had wondered if it still worked being spoiled. I like dark. And I like musicals well enough, too; I don't particularly seek them out, but they don't annoy the way they do some people.

Ah, see Citizen Kane is not fabout hte twist. it's the composition. I am floored by practically every shot in it.

Oh, yes, I've heard that. Which is impressive, given how early it was made it the history of films.
