I just rewatched ET on Saturday and was in the Review the Movie Forum for it, and someone commented that while they didn't love it, it was a movie that they had wished had come out during their childhood. I thought that is true. ET was the 2nd movie I had ever seen in the theatre and it was incredible seeing it that young. I still view it with the childlike mentality. Your comment about Spielberg at his best is true. I commented on the other Forum that with Spielberg and John Williams at peak levels during ET, it was like having Larry Bird and Magic Johnson on the same team in their primes. Pretty much not fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even find a knucklehead who thinks that Citizen Kane is an abomination. Their are plenty of films that I might find mediocre, or OK but nothing special. But unlike some people there are very few films that I actively dislike, maybe 2% of films that I see (although I watch films that I am predisposed to like). Citizen Kane is easily one of those, and has a place of honour in my bottom 10 of all time. The other films on this list might be worse in some aspects by having stupid plot lines, obvious plot holes, bad blurry action, bad acting and unfunny jokes. Where Citizen Kane really outshines its fellow films on the list at being terrible at, is that it is just so excruciatingly boring, that I just couldn't care about any of what happened in it. No film has ever given me as strong of a feeling of "I wish I were doing almost anything else rather than watching this film right now" as Citizen Kane did.

Jake Gittes Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Being routinely proclaimed the greatest movie of all time over several decades has done Kane more harm than good. It's great, but no movie should have those impossible expectations placed on it. I was so happy when I sat down to watch it and it basically turned out to be an entertaining drama that still feels more modern than almost any other classic Hollywood movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so - however I have always found it easier to watch and have fun with even if I appreciate Raiders more.

Goffe Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) the Indiana Jones movies are all pretty mediocre, but there are worse movies out there so I'm okay with them being in the list. Edited May 17, 2016 by Goffe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
