Why bother with a top 250? Just watch this

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2000)

I've got to admit I don't like hype and therefore you'd think that Citizen Kane would be well down my list. However I broke with convention and decided to see it. From its extraordinary camera techniques to its great premise and writing, via an extraordinarily prescient similarity to Welles' own life, makes it for me, for now, the greatest movie I have seen.
