Yeah, Raging Bull and Scarface are at the top of my queue. I got into a big '70s era DeNiro kick a few months ago, but RB never came.
I too am surprised at the amount of people that haven't seen Star Wars. It was always on TV when we were kids. I don't know how they missed it. Dent not having seen Raiders of the Lost Ark also surprises me.
...and I have to agree with UB here, Blonde. Citizen Kane blows. It's a fine movie, but way overrated. They give it too much credit, claiming that it invented all of these new film making techniques, when really all it did was borrow from other film disciplines, countries, shorts, and lesser known films. I don't know. I had to watch it three times for three different classes in a four week period in college. I didn't like it any of those times. A lot of the scenes feel dragged out and the dialogue can be pretty weak at times. Certainly shouldn't be at the top of any "Best Movies of All Time" lists. I'd give that to The Godfather (with Casablanca in second).
