26. "Yeah it's definitely pushing me to watch older films" In response to In response to 24
I've been watching a lot of Westerns and Samurai films lately.
The AFI and Sight and Sound ones are exactly what I'd expect from a top films list. But honestly, I don't think anyone's actually watching Citizen Kane and really thinking it's their favorite movie of all time in terms of enjoyment. But I get why it's at the top of the list and I do enjoy the technical elements of films based on their own merit as well as appreciate the cultural significance and influence of films. And, I get that having The Matrix next to Citizen Kane on a list looks stupid. I'm going to check out more lists and use IMDb to keep track of them all.
