Tal, you missed the point. In movie circles, 'Citizen Kane' was picked as the greatest film of the first half of the 20th Century. That included Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, and so many other great films. It's not that you have to like Citizen Kane, but it's the yard stick that every other film is judged against. So when someone said, 'it's no Citizen Kane', it's like saying a baseball player is no Babe Ruth, whether you liked him or not, his numbers speak for themself.
