I sometimes see listings for older classics (as in the list below) and ask myself if it's worth watching. Almost a calculation.

Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon, Patton all passed. So I watched them, and they were all excellent.

Lawrence of Arabia has not yet passed the calculation. Nor have several Hitchcock films. But over time, they might.

Actually, there are good odds that I've never seen a film directed by Hitchcock. Which is strange, because i quite liked Alfred Hitchcock Presents -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 30, 09:32 4
- I'm, not a fan. Like, I watch Rear Window and while I can appreciate the way the film is made and all that - I just didn't care for it. nm - Dean Winchester Aug 30, 09:35
- Go with Rear Window, Vertigo and North by Northwest to get you started. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:34 2
  - Just watched To Catch a Thief again. Surprised you haven't seen Psycho. I really enjoy most of his films. -- nm - LMS Aug 30, 10:04
  - I saw the Reeves version of the first. I'm most intrigued by NxNW. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 09:35
