You don’t need to see Dirty Dancing, but GWTW and Citizen Kane? Those, you do.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies all the way through. Nothing against the movies, just could never get into it.

Yeah Streetcar was great. It is so interesting to see the difference in acting styles between Brando and the rest of the cast though. Everyone, including Leigh, has that 1950s stage actor very theatrical cadence and style, while Brando could easily fit in a contemporary production with his naturalistic approach.
