All I know is I finally watched citizen Kane and I’m confused as to why it’s considered the greatest movie ever.



It's a good movie, but it's mostly considered that because of all the innovation that occurred while filming.

I saw a recent pic of her awhile back and she looked amazing. Whatever she has been doing for the last 70+ years is clearly working.

The Jerk is definitely in my top 3 most rewatchable comedies.

That scene where he trashes the room is gold.

It was the first to do a bunch of things, we take them for granted today, because we hardly notice them.

The POV on the camera shots tell the story.
