Ordinary People means a lot to Ben personally and is his favorite movie.
So you're basically saying it was good for you at a certain period in your life, and so because of that now you hold it up a little higher?
No, it's also one of the best movies every made. Won the Oscar--
Technically, that's Citizen Kaine, but alright.
Well, I said 'one of the best'. I haven't seen Citizen Kaine.
Ah, I've seen Citizen Kaine, you loser! Ah, not so funny now, is it?
No, that's even worse, because you've seen Citizen Kaine and still put Blades of Glory ahead of it.
Yeah, it's not that good.
