Generally I translate “best film” into “most boring film”. I don’t know if whether Citizen Kane or Gone With The Wind deserve the title more. The English Patient is also in the running.

Different tastes. I found Jaws frightfully boring at 13 years old. I liked Citizen Kane just fine.

Citizen Kane I thought was terrible, and GWTW is boring for me. After reading how great “The General” is (silent movie with Buster Keaton) I thought I would give it a try and made my little kids (5 to 8) watch it with me. We all thought it was great! I was surprised that my kids liked it so much.

It even got us on a kick of watching other great silent movies.
