So I am stuck in a recliner. The kids want to watch videos. So I put in "Citizen Kane" and announce that anyone who correctly figures out who Rosebud is before the end of the movie gets a dollar.
Depending on their geekitude, they might appreciate your pointing out all the incredible special effects. If you need help identifying them Ebert's commentary track on the DVD is fantastic. It gave me a whole new appreciation of it seeing what a special effect extravaganza it is.
Actually, when they discovered Rosebud's identity, they both said "You said "who" not "what"!" So yes, I guess it wasn't fair : )
The younger (more melodramatic) one did indeed like Casablanca, if for no other reason than he now understood the references he's seen elsewhere which draw from Rick's speech at the airport.

They'll love Casablanca though.
"I was mis-informed," indeed.
