I personally find it interesting for its artsy techniques and some interesting discussions. To me it's like if 2001 was talky and employed black-and-white footage frequently.

The fantasies were enough to keep me intrigued.

I was wondering what the remake was like. The only movie I've seen George Clooney in was O Brother Where Art Thou, and he had a southern accent there so I can't really judge his acting.

I have plenty of classics left to see, though.

Mainly, The Seventh Seal, The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven, Lady Eve, Vertigo, and Psycho, to name just a few.

I'll find time soon.
