I was always the movie snob growing up, I knew more about 30s/40s films than anyone amongst my peers in the 70s, having two parents born in the 30s. I was obnoxious, I admit it. But one thing I'll also admit, I just NEVER enjoyed or appreciated this movie. I've fallen asleep during it more times than I can count. I've been to screenings with discussions at the end to help me see its "greatness". Believe me, if there was SOMETHING that I could act all high and mighty and cinema snob about it, I would. But CK escapes me. It was a bomb when it first came out, and at least for the last 30 years it's been a bomb with me and my other cinema aficionados. I still don't see why it's so highly rated. It's like a prank and these pseudo-intellectual wannabes have latched onto this awfully boring film to act like they have some superior taste and expertise than anyone who doesn't like it.
I wish more people would come on here and give it a fat 1/10 to lower its rating. For 50 years I've never liked it. And today I still don't. And this is DECADES of watching and enjoying 1000s of movies with other likeminded cinema aficionados. Please bring this rating down. It's not nearly as good as it's portrayed to be. I'd say it's almost awful and tedious to watch and it will put you to sleep.
