In Reply to: Re: What "classic" or "required viewing" films will you admit you've never seen? posted by Victor Khomenko on September 23, 2002 at 19:04:15:
with the wind!
"But just as some comments on your list. I would pass on Gone with the Wind - a sentimental kaka with no real worth. Citizen Kane stays."I saw it once, and found it a bit sappy and overbaked--but I'm glad I saw it because it made the Carol Burnett spoofs very enjoyable. (ever see her spoof on Mildred Pierce-fantastic!). My vote too, would go for "rosebud." I also agree with you on Carnal Knowledge. To see something worthwhile instead--Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf-plenty of others to choose from. I would also take The Piano over Beauty and the Beast (quite similar if you think about it!).

Follow Ups:
I can't believe what you said about the Carol Burnett spoof. I've often told people that the only reason to see GWTW is to appreciate the spoof. I particularly like the scene where she whips up a dress to visit Rhett by using the velvet curtains. In the spoof, she doesn't even bother to remove the curtain rods which stick out from the shoulders of her dress.I agree with Victor's comments in every respect, although a statement like Citizen Kane stays seems like a bit too much of a luke warm endorsement for this film.
Notice, I didn't even say anything about the Thief, and that is one of the ten best films ever made - I thought it went without saying.
