by rainbow Decoy better than Citizen Kane by rainbow Well, this reminds me of a guy I saw ages ago. He wore a leather jacket with a patch on it which said: "30 million Elvis fans can't be wrong!" I will for sure not say that these 30 millions guys are wrong---who am I to say that?---but I can say that I do not share their taste. Let the whole world love the music of Elvis Presley, but you will never find any of his records at my home. Why? Because I have my own taste. And my own taste does not have to be same as the taste of 30 million other guys ;) It is the same with Citizen Kane. Almost the whole world seems to love and praise this film, and all I can do is to shrug and say, "I don't." A film must have certain qualities to be on my personal fave list. First it must entertain me, which means that it should take hold of me, tie me to the seat and makes me want to keep watching it until the very last second. Decoy does that to me, Citizen Kane does not. Another thing is that I look also very much for the actors. I can absolutely not take overrated actors, and you will not find their movies on my list. (Of course, this is just in my personal opionion.) Actors like Robert Patrick, Tommy Lee Jones, Jamie Lee Curtis, James Woods, Peter Weller, Halle Berry and Julian Sands are ones I really, really like. They are extemely charismatic and perform incredibly well. They are emotional and fascinate me :) Another example is E.T. Many people say it is a fantastic movie, but to me it is very boring and I could never make it through the complete movie in one go. A Spielberg movie I like for example is Jurassic Park---not a great story but very exciting and great actors! That is the stuff that I need and want to watch when I come back home from long hours of work :) So I hope this short explanation makes it clear why my fave movie list includes Decoy but not Citizen Kane ;) But maybe the last sentence should be more something like: "Why the heck do I have to explain my taste at all?" ;) Top 116 The Cat and the Canary 1928 The Passion of Joan of Arc 1931 Frankenstein M 1933 Busy Bodies Sons of the Desert 1944 Arsenic and Old Lace 1950 Meurtres 1954 08/15 1955 Lady and the Tramp The Ladykillers 1958 Liebe Kann Wie Gift Sein The Restless Night 1959 The Hound of the Baskervilles Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?
