So THIS is better than CITIZEN KANE?


CIIZEN KANE, widely regarded as the best film ever made, rates an 8.5 and THIS rates a 9.0. Not saying it's a bad film but BETTER than CITIZEN KANE? Not to anyone who actually knows ANYTHING about movies.

Why bother to have a rating system when it comes up with ridiculous ratings like this?

Nice list. So glad to see so much Bergman on there. He was so revered when I was in college, but, now that he is gone, I rarely see him mentioned any more. Nice to see that he has not been forgotten.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is miles better, an epic movie with amazing characters and a far superior soundtrack, Citizen Kane is forgettable compared to Leone's masterpiece.

Well, guess what, we have a difference of opinion and, foolish me, I am so conventional that I agree with the international critics, which ALWAYS place Citizen Kane at 1 or 2 among the best films ever made. But, hey, if you prefer the Leone western, cool.

OP is a troll, and yes, this movie is better than Citizen Kane.

reply

Hey, it all a matter of opinion and mine is, along with all the most important critics in the world, that Citizen Kane is the best film ever made. If you disagree, so what. Go forth and enjoy.

So, couple of years after the start of this thread, did you ever watch tgtbatu all the way through ?!

reply

No, can't lie and say I have. I really do dislike westerns and the darn thing is almost three hours long. Hey, my loss I suppose.

reply

No it's just based on perspective. Majority of people like this movie far more than Citizen Kane.

There are more shootouts and explosions here...that's why! 
