I saw "Citizen Kane", and I've heard it's one of the best films in the world (if not the best), but it was sooooo very unbearably boring for me! I could hardly watch it till the end.Originally Posted by Fresno
I, actually, don't mean that there are not old (and some modern) Hollywood movies which are good. There are! I, personally, like Hitchcock very much. And, as for the modern films, I liked "Catch me if you can".
But, to say the truth, I hate how Americans make screen versions of the English classical literature. I saw American "Jane Eyre", it sucked. Recently I've seen "Vanity Fair" (with Reese Witherspoon).... Oh my God! Poor Thackeray!
As for writing, I *love* Eugene O'Neill's play "Beyond the Horizon".
I also like Mark Twain and O. Henry, of course.
