I remember watching it.....I don't know how I got to it but I loved it.
Wait how did he embed a youtube video? I want this feature!
-Jimmybob
The magical properties of TCOTY itself made this possible, but I don't plan to attempt to work this magic for other videos. Judging from other forums I visit, embedded videos are simply too easy to abuse.
Only if you truly believe in TCOTY will you be able to embed it.
Great film. The only fault is that the camera quality is a bit below-par, but you can't have everything. The fact that it has such memorable characters, moments and a timeless plot means that it has become a cult classic in the brickfilming world. A film doesn't necessarily have to be technically stunning to garner a good reputation in the community, Dino Crises is an example of this, but it just needs to have a long-lasting appeal, whether or not it's the same appeal the director intended it to have.
:bum:
The first time I saw COTY (3 years ago) I liked it, I admit it. But now I see that people are totally overrating and hyping it I'm beginning to dislike it very much. Why aren't you people hyping better films like Faithless and Grace for example if you have to hype something?
The Citizen of the Year brought my dog back to life.

That brought a tear to my eye, Leonardo812. You should rename him after the bum.
Naw, he should rename him after the main character.
Buy the dog a pair of pants.
Anyway, just watched this for the first time. I don't know why some of you are dissing it, but this is indescribable. A triumph.

mod edit: let's use the scroll feature wisely.

TCOTY killed TAAB.
Ok ok... Sorry to barge in like this all ignorant like... but why does Citizen of the Year have such a massive following? It's a decent film and I enjoyed it, but I can't comprehend why it's so popular.

Citizen of the Year always fills me up and never lets me down.

It's good, but it has MANY flaws. Sorry Watson.
No doubt the main flaw to which you are reffering is the fact that it ends. A tragedy, I know, but we can still re-watch and enjoy the awesomeness again and again for all time.

The only other flaw I can think of is that, as a mortal man, I cannot spend eternity watching it.
this film is... he just IS . yes, this is it . HE is.
this film changed my whole life .
Now I wonder... what is awesomeness ? How can something be awesome without being TCOTY ?
those questions haunt my dreams...
I don't understand the obsession...
I don't understand the obsession...
I think that's a fair statement, as the love that all of us have, including you, for TCOTY is really not something that can be expressed in words. It is beyond understanding, above it, even.
It doesn't make sense that you people love this movie so freaking much. I just don't get it. I would love to be explained why this film makes you all go all gushy over it.
[...]the love that all of us have, including you, for TCOTY is really not something that can be expressed in words. It is beyond understanding, above it, even.
That doesn't help at all. 
Oh well, I guess I'll never understand.
