Citizen Kane - never watched it, not very interested in watching it, but may watch it in the future.

The Social Network - never watched it, don't want to watch it, and will not watch it unless someone paid me to.

Eh, no need to be so hard on the poor guy.  I think his statement was meant to be taken literally, not figuratively.  I don't think he's saying that The Social Network is the Citizen Kane (read: greatest movie ever made) of our generation.  I think he's just saying, hey, Social Network, Citizen Kane... they're both kinda quasi-fictional biopics of a guy who does stuff in regards to a media empire.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
