Pick of the Bunch:

I realise that in the eyes of many choosing anything ahead of Citizen Kane is verging on sacrilegious, and were my priorities a bit different in making this selection I would have picked it. But Citizen Kane is not the sort of film that you'd recommend to anybody. This is about picking something I think people will love, and I think more people are likely to get a kick out of L.A. Confidential than would Citizen Kane. It's got the lot, a great cast, a great plot and a great noirish tone.

Also Up There: Citizen Kane, The Royal Tenenbaums, Roger & Me

Don't Waste Your Time: It's a toss up this month between The Poseidon Adventure and The Gleaners and I, but I think I'm going to have to give it to The Gleaners and I. It's not a bad film, so I feel a bit harsh suggesting that seeing it is a waste of time, but I study film and even I struggle to get excited about that film, so for the average movie watcher I think it would be excruciating.
