  You've gotta check out Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, Murder, My Sweet, and The Big Sleep.

  I also had no idea Dumbo is that old.

  Thanks for the recommendations! I have seen "Double Indemnity;" it's probably due for a rewatch.

  Yeah, "Dumbo" came out in 1941. I read a review somewhere that called the animation "dated." I just shook my head at the obviousness of the comment, but it still plays very fresh to me.

  I assumed it came out in the seventies or some such. I just looked at the trailer there and the animation doesn't seem too dated to me. Certainly not seventy years old.

  Double Indemnity is as close to perfect as movies get. Change one thing about it and it instantly becomes inferior. It literally got everything right. Took me a few watches to fully appreciate it, though.

  Also...not a Citizen Kane fan?

  I respect "Citizen Kane." I admire "Citizen Kane." I undestand "Citizen Kane's" contribution to cinema. I just don't love "Citizen Kane."

  And I really need to get on that "Double Indemnity" rewatch!

  I think in this day and age as a first time viewer of Citizen Kane it's hard to love it, given its massive reputation.

  Agree with the comments above about Citizen Kane. Seen it, respect it, just not a massive fan. Also agree about the need to check out the Maltese Falcon: its probably my #1 movie from the decade. Granted, there are a ton of top-tier titles I haven't seen, including about half this list.
