Mark Kermode reviews Citizen Kane (1941) | BFI Player 

It's never my favorite, but I still watch it every few years: a certain something that is endlessly compelling. Maybe the first U.S. movie to be about more than a story and its characters.

A wonderful, masterful and timeless masterpiece 81 years later! 🎬👏

The most underrated film of all time!

What Mark Kermode doesn’t know about films and the film business you can write in the back of a postage stamp

It won the Oscar in the only underperforming element of the film the screenplay should have won cinematography instead

I don't think any film deserves the title of greatest film ever made because there is a vast world of cinema out there. As for Kane, it's a fine film and my favorite moments were Kane wrecking that bedroom and that tragic shot of Kane's reflection in those mirrors.

I remember seeing it rereleased in cinemas and it was amazing in Hd and in 4K

Citizen Kane is better than Vertigo. It's far more entertaining for one thing, and - with the exception of the trombone zoom - is far more influential on cinema. Vertigo is a fantastic film, but it's not one I watch over and over again as I can with Citizen Kane. I suspect if we give it another decade fashions will swing around again, and Kane will top the list once more.

It is a truly great film whether its the greatest film ever made well thats subjective. But if your a true lover film history you must see this film.

Not the Greatest but the first Greatest film ever made.

I don't get it. It came out after Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz, both of which arguably made greater technical advancements and appealed to a greater audience. Kane is a dull story about unpleasant people to be honest, though I do see the humour in it but it's not a comedy. Critics call it the Greatest Film Ever for the same reason they call the dull Ulysses the Greatest Book Ever, its to display a cultural superiority to justify their place.

Rosebud is the word

In terms of technical achievement, storytelling scope and visual style, Gone with the Wind is the greatest film ever made.

Might be one the greatest films of all time - might even be the greatest film of all time but not Orson Welles’ best film.

It seems that no one was present to hear Kane say "Rosebud."

The best film in the history.

The most entertaining film ever made; endlessly satisfying, beautiful, and joyful.

A cross between Kermit and a toad. Fuckin kermode.
