15 year goal

I know that I have been trying -- for at LEAST fifteen years -- to watch Citizen Kane all the way through. It constantly tops Best Movie lists and is randomly referenced in pop culture/trivia.  But I couldn't get through it.  Ever.  So much so that it got it's own specific number on the list (#87).

I remember that once every summer I'd go to the Neenah library & check it out.  And then turn it on and PROMPTLY fall asleep.  Like, 30.6 seconds in to it.  Without exaggeration.  I had never made it past the Rosebud scene. 

It's the first scene.

Anywho, courtesy of our super random Netflix list -- it showed up.  And we watched it in one sitting!  And it wasn't terrible!  I'm so proud.

Ever seen it?  Got any movies you can't make it through??

And #87 -- check!!
