Mayhew,

Trey and I are the codgers who are vocal about incorporating more classic cinema in there.  Y'know, when we're not complaining about kids being on our lawns.

Wow....ok.  You're entitled not to like the story but in my mind no one can fuck with its level of craftsmanship and its impact on cinema.

He doesn't think it's the best movie ever, I give him shit and say he hates it.

I really thought I had piled on enough sarcasm there. Huh.

...I suppose I should really get around to watching that one, one day eh?

Also, as for doing the big classics like that as commentaries, I'm of a dual mind about it.

On the one hand, as Trey says, if it gets you youngin's to watch a movie you should watch that you might not have otherwise watched, then score.

On the other hand, I would be hesitant to do a commentary about a movie that has already been subject to exhaustive discussion and analysis. If we're going to talk about a movie, I'd like to think we could say something new about it, and I doubt that's possible with some of the giants of the cinema Hall of Fame.

My suggestions:
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
-There Will Be Blood
Why those two? I don't know. But I think they would be a refreshing change from the regular additions to your library.

Brian, thanks for clarifying.  I actually love the STORY (you total ASSHOLES) of CItizen Kane and think it just happens to be masterfully told.  The Hearst/Kane story really fascinates me to know end and I love the narrative structure.

I prefer films with ALOT of SOTRY.

Okay, all of you just SOTP it already.
