OK, I'm gonna stop now

I like Citizen Kane to. Do you like Treasure of the Sierra Madre?

[Bob Sullivan]

Yes, I saw Treasure... recently, and also very much enjoyed Angels with Dirty Faces. I've seen very little James Cagney prior to that.

I just sat through American Psycho, which I hated, and started 1776, which I had to stop after a few minutes. It's pretty cheesy even as musicals go, and the period costumes make it seem a parody of itself, though I can't tell if it was meant that way at the time. I'm going to try it again tonight. I just wasn't in the frame of mind to "go with it" last night.

If you ever see Citizen Kane on DVD with the Roger Ebert commentary, it's a revelation, IMO. He points out several model work special effects I'd taken as location work, among other tricks.

that sounds excellent, the DVD I had of Citizen Kane had a documentary on it called The American Experience: Battle over Citizen Kane. Have you seen F for Fake? I really love that Welles movie.
