Why is it so low?!

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2005)

According to the AFI, Sight and Sound, and several other top polls, this is the greatest film ever made. According to the users of IMDb, it is the 16th greatest film ever made. WTF! Can you honestly say the "Lord of the Rings" films are better?! "The Shawshank Redemption?!" "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?!" Honestly people! It influenced and entire generation of filmmakers. It is so copied and so used as a textbook more than any of the above mentioned films are. I urge everyone reading this review to vote this to the top it belongs. It is a blemish to IMDb that it is so low. Let us show some general appreciation to Welles and to cinema. Get it higher on the list!
