That was a great flick. The classic barberchair and globe scenes were great, but I loved Hynkel's (Hitler's) speech when he's going on and on about the Chuten in that psuedo-Germanic gibberish, intimidating the microphones, for a couple of minutes, and then the translator just says "His Excellency has just referred to the Jewish people." Classic scene.
Attila the Professor said:That is a tough one. Of course, they are both highly overrated, but I enjoy them both. Neither is one of my favorites though. I tend to quote Citizen Kane more often, but Casablanca is up there as well. Citizen Kane just speaks to me a bit more, I suppose. Casablanca is much easier to sit through though. I guess the final warehouse scene, along with Mr. Bernstein's story about the girl on the ferry really did it for me, and the whole concept of the reporter trying to find out who he was (if you look at Lawrence of Arabia, you'll see that they are very similar, but Kane uses the reporter throughout and Lawrence has the Bentley character and looks at Lawrence through the other character's eyes, in a way).
Plus, I like the corny Citizen Kane song:
"There is a man, a certain man..."
