I think the Godfather requires a big screen for me. I've tried watchign it on TV a few times and I get all antsy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I've never seen Gone With the Wind, Citizen Kane, or Casablanca.
Of these, I think Casablanca is the only must see.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Citizen Kane bored me, and Gone With The Wind -- yeah, missed the hype. I've seen it through a few times, and I can sit through it (unlike Kane, which I never will again), but I just don't see the magic.

I can't even.

I love Casablanca, everyone should see Citizen Kane in a film studies elective class (once) and the Carol Burnett version of Gone with the Wind is best.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I hated Gone With the Wind, until I saw it on a giant screen. The story still doesn't do much for me, but it's positively gorgeous.
Yes, this. My DH bought this for me on tape years ago and I don't think I have ever watched it.

I love Casablanca, but I realized this spring that there is one huge honking plot hole in it. Still love it, though.

Huh. I wonder if that's the one I saw? Can't remember.
I do love Casablanca.

I'm really glad I waited til I could see Casablanca for the first time on the big screen. It was so nice seeing it as it was meant to be seen, in a classic old theater.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The Marx Brothers' comedic routines were honed in front of a live audience, so watching their movies alone makes the pacing seem slow, where if you watch them in a theater full of people they are timed perfectly so lines happen right at the end of laughs and you don't miss anything.

I have ginormous adoration for the Marx Brothers. My sense of humor trends towards the absurd.
