Thanks, Rico!
I find this type of viewer's list very helpful...for example, I've thought right along that I was one of a very few fans of RKO 281, which is in my tape library as well.
You and Patrick discussed Huston's The Dead a few weeks back, and now it is on m list to see (for the second time) and perhaps own. I even pulled out my Modern Library copy of Joyce's short stories, and re-read it...sometimes called the greatest short story ever.
Again, thanks!

I recommend "RKO 281" and the PBS documentary on Welles and Hearst (the second DVD in the CK box set) as a great introduction to "Citizen kane". The beginning and end of "...281" where Welles meets Hearst are of course apocryphal but I think Schrieber does a great Welles and Malovich a great Mank. I particularly enjoy the Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons characters. And Croimwell is great as Hearst.
As for "The Dead, sadly it is not yet on DVD. I have it on laserdisc and watch it each year at Epiphany. I think you will find it a very successful film vesion of the Joyce short story.
