Just watched it for the first time last night. Wasn't that impressed. It was okay but I don't see why it's consistently considered one of the best movies of all time and I really don't get the 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Quote:
In fact, a Boston Globe writer dubbed it the "Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies."
I wouldn't rank it #1 because I don't think it really registers with the general public. I would put Godfather #1 because it is universally loved while also being highly acclaimed with critics and film geeks. Citizen Kane is one of those movies that people watch, but never really want to watch again. If a movie has to be analyzed to see the greatness in it, It shouldn't be considered the greatest ever made.Hey Nav said:
A large percentage of professional film critics consider Citizen Kane #1 of all movies. But to each his own, I guess.
If you were to list one (1) and only one "greatest film" what would it be?

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the movie, was even better than CK.Bruce Almighty said:
Modern day audiences won't appreciate it because it is kinda boring. I'm not even sure 1940 audiences appreciated it. It's considered the greatest, not because it's an amazing movie to watch, it's considered the greatest because of how it changed film making. It's pretty much the movie version of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
