Personally,I think "Lawrence of Arabia" is far better than "Citizen Kane"....in my opinion the actual greatest movie.
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

The movie that really blew me away when I saw it was The Game.

I've seen about half the list, and there are several others I would really like to watch but have not yet... I thought VERTIGO was boring the first time I watched it.  Then, I saw it again.  And again.  And again.  Now, I think it's perfect and endlessly watchable and it ranks very high on my list of favorites.  It's not a crowd pleaser, but there really isn't much to compare it to.  Though I love at least a few HITCHCOCK films, REAR WINDOW may be my favorite film of all films, but I'm also of the opinion VERTIGO is his best.   
The BIRDS is his best-IMHO. PSYCHO second-then NORTH BY NORTHWEST-then REAR WINDOW.
VERIGO is good-but a little to confusing and psychological for its own good,methinks-I am an average Joe-but Im no dummy-Im a geek too-but VERTIGO-well-I like Carey Grant and Janet Leigh better than Jimmy Stewart,I reckon.
I think PSYCHO might be HITCHCOCK's most influential film.  Certainly a great movie.  Like I wrote, I think REAR WINDOW might be my favorite (though "favorites" are often displaced on my lists  :teddyr:).

Great movie; implausible but a lot of fun!  
If you want to view paradise . . . simply look around and view it!
