Citizen Kane was brilliant. Best main character entrance in a movie, I reckons.
Citizen Kane has dated and is to be admired rather than enjoyed these days. That's not true of all old B&W movies, The Third Man for example, can be watched on its own terms.

Do you really perceive all of those movies to be "classics?"The Fisher King - absolute bollocks I'm shocked I actually got to the end of it - one of the worst movies I've seen
The same for Moulin Rouge - people kept on about McGregors singing - it was as pants as the rest of it (Ewan McGreggor's overated imo)
Agree that Fargo was thoroughly overated
Sleepy Hollow - we lasted 45 minutes and the abysmal acting from the girl (whats her name Nina Ricci I think) actor was so irritating we left - the missus was dragging me out !
Dead Poets Society - I love some of Williams stuff but that no thanks
Yep the English Patient too
Face Off and Gone in 60 seconds - two Cage movies that should have ended after 60 secs- absolute shite
Naked Lunch - dire
The latter Alien movies - complete bunkum - as were the latter Jaws films although fking hilarious they were so poor
God when you think about it there are some diabolical crimes against celluloid about are'nt there ?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest..
What drivel that was.
Heat, by michael mann
utter tripe for 2hr and 10mins, then a great gun scene right at the end, but not enough to save the movie for me!
And Salvo usually hates good films. If he loves a film it's probably not very good. He'll agree with me, I'm sure.
Weirdo. Those are some of the best movies ever.
Wow ....love that movie
Ah yes, that old chestnut. They peddle the same line of bullshit for a lot of horror movies.I know it's not a "classic" but 9:10 to Yuma bored the pants off me. Never seemed to get going bar the last 10 minutes.
Also i suppose this is just a generation gap, the exorcist. When i finally got round to seeing it, a documentary preceeded it saying that people died of heart attacks in the cinema when watching this film, fled the cinema in terror etc. I watched it and didn't find very scary at all, but then again that is more than likely down to me watching more modern horror films that make this look very dated.
I thought the whole premise/characters didn't ring true (the flied lice sequence killed it stone dead tho'). Big let down since Copolla's other movie the Virgin Suicides was excellent.

I agree, I can't figure out the fuss behind a lot of films regarded as good.
Plus, I also admit to liking Saw. And Shawshank Redemption.

Blade Runner.
Looks good etc but its tedious as hell.

Blade Runner is good, but not amazing.

Great film
Bought it in the bargain bin the other day. One of those films that I have fond memories of as a kid. My 9 year old loves it too
The music sounds great at the start of Metallica gigs too !
Apocalypse Now... not at all bad but nowhere near as good as it's made out to be.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest..
What drivel that was.
WTF?!?! lol It's a great movie.
Mulholland Dr. - Had a lot of people talking about how great it was, but it took me 4 tries just to get through the whole thing, and it didn't even hold my interest the last time. Although it did have a lovely scene with the leading ladies.
