Best movies ever
Who cares about the best movies of the past twenty years. Let's throw this one open. What are your top five movies of all time. I'll begin:

1. Casablanca
2. North by Northwest
3. Gone with the Wind
4. Star Wars
5. The Outlaw Josey Wales (even better than the Unforgiven).

Citizen Kane- I found this movie to be the most overrated movie I have ever seen. Didn't care for it one bit.

If you don't get Citizen Kane that is one thing but not realizing the incredible way the movie was filmed is another. The story is great especially since Welles was being dogged by Hearst and under incredible pressure from RKO to not even make the movie. What he ended up with is a masterpiece of movie making.

it isnt the most accessible movie ever, but it is probably the most influential movie since "birth of a nation". every movie shot since has copied Ck in some way....camera angles, lighting, editing style....it was revolutionary in those terms.

Scarface.

I can't stand to watch anything in black and white. A lot of old movies are way over rated.
