Barton Fink was another just alright one to me, honestly. Caught that on Netflix not too long ago. I dunno, I'm not as into the Coens as other people as much as I thought ... yesterday, when I told a girl in my class I liked the Coen Bros. I guess it's just something you say in conversation. My favorite movie of theirs is actually Burn After Reading. That one's hilarious. I wathced that with no idea what it was or who the Coen Bros. were.
Never really heard of The Man Who Wasn't There.
And yeah, Citizen Kane is one of those movies where I'm sure you can find something new every time; although I honestly haven't, and I've been looking ... maybe I'm just that savvy that I caught it all the first time?; but that's not necessarily why I watch movies. I wacth movies for story, characters, and sometimes visual effects, but when I say visual effects, someone better has a laser-monkey. I guess a better word is spectacle.
That's pretty much why I'm cool with How Green Was My Valley winning the Oscar over Citizen Kane, even if I don't agree with the politics that led to that decision. Now there's a classic movie I need to watch again.
