Yes, it is definitely in my top ten. It's amazing as I was not around, or were my parents (I'm 28) when the film was made. Also in my top ten are Hard Day's Night (surprise, surprise; I'm sure
), Empire Strikes Back, Give My Regards To Broad Street (personal macca favorite of mine, didn't do well commercially), Imagine: John Lennon, Raiders, Temple of Doom (1st Indy movie I saw in theaters), Star Wars, Star Trek II and VI probably round out the list of top ten. Other favorites (no particular order) would include The Doors, Wall Street, The Fugitive, and Man on the Moon. At least those are the ones I can think of right now. However, yes, Citizen Kane is in my top ten because the theme of a man's life, growth, personal demons, corruption, and longing for innoncence are universal themes. These do not change no matter what decade we live in, what our background is, or who we are.
