AFI's Top 100 Films

Anybody who doesn't get the brilliance of Citizen Kane (and even if you don't think it is great shakes now it was brilliant in 1941) and want to at least understand, I strongly recommend getting the DVD and listening to the two commentary tracks (by Peter Bogdanovich and Roger Ebert).

Personally, I think it holds up incredibly well and I do think it may be the best made film of all time (so I am fine with the story though my personal favorite for entertainment is All About Eve) but if you are interested in film history watching those commentaries will provide the context.

Hear, hear. It is every bit as good as its craft.
