“Citizen Cane” is number one on my list...

of the most over-rated movies

They have had the same list for years.

Citizen Kane was a good film, but I would put Casablanca ahead of it.

I knew they would. They always do.

Isn't it strange how everyone's (including liberals') favorite films were all made under the Hays Code, yet, liberals act as if bringing it back would be the equivalent of Auschwitz?

I didn't hear any liberals screaming when Jesse Jackson ordered an industry-wide ban on the "N"-word a while back. And that's different from the Hays Code how???

Oh, that's right! "Free speech" is solely for advancing the historical "thesis," and doesn't apply to the "antithesis!"

I have a 50th Anniversary copy of Citizen Kane. It has a dissertation about the Hearst family at the end. Best Movie FOR MY TASTES? Patton.

Hollywood may have fallen back in love with "Citizen Kane" because they see Kane as a modern day Murdoch.

Then again it could just be that it IS a darn good movie.

Citizen Kane should be around 39.

The Sound of Music should be in that top ten. And some kind of western.

Raging Bull? Odd choice.

“Films that dropped out of the top-100 this time included 1965’s “Doctor Zhivago,” which had been No. 39 on the 1998 list”

One of very few films ever made which had an anticommunist leaning.
