No. On my list. Looking back at some of the 2hrs I've wasted on others, I don't know why I haven't yet.

It is a great movie. If you want to make a movie study Orson Welles work but Citizen Kane is a piece that is on an important level very time specific. It is the story based on the life of Hearst, the newspaper tycoon.The knowledge of his life gives a depth and roundness to the movie. I feel that it isn't the greatest movie made. That movie is still not made.I put it out that as movies are a part of their time and culture and it would take a superlative genius to rise above those conditions. The movies of the East and of India can be great and perhaps if those in films were understandable,linguistically or culturally by Hollywood we may have seen the best movie made.

Yes, I have seen it. Perhaps it was the best movie FOR ITS TIME, which was about 1940. But not today. There are so many great movies, why they say Citizen Kane, is a mystery to me. Myself, I think Gone With The Wind was the best movie ever made. But like I say, there are many.

I do not think it is the best movie ever made, but it is one of Orson Welles best. I myself preferred The Magnificent Ambersons. Again it showed the supremely rich as the arrogant people they really were in that time period.

It's a good movie but I wouldn't say the best movie ever. I watch all kinds of movies from silent to today. I don't think I could pick a number one, it would be too hard.

Haven't seen it, surprisingly enough, though I'm a great admirer of Orson Welles for his War of the Worlds lark.

It's a good movie, but not at the top of my list.

Great movie, and very progressive for its time.
Though "Godfather II" still tops my list, personally.

Several times.
It is a spoof of Hearst and his obsessions with collecting thing, politics, and his girlfriend.
