Citizen Kane was at the top of 'Greatest Film Ever' polls for so long it was becoming a joke. As often happens, that type of fame brings termites out of the woodwork to feast on it instead. I almost fell into that trap. It was on a big screen in a small theatre yesterday, and it is truly a great film. Personally, I am not the type to label a film as 'the greatest ever'. However there is no shame attached to designating this film in that manner. Kudos to Orson Welles.
