Sight & Sound 2012: 'Vertigo' Unseats 'Citizen Kane' As Greatest Movie Ever Do you agree or disagree? When made, I agree
Citizen Cane was way ahead of it's time in production quality, but the story bored me to tears. Overall, I think
Vertigo is better...but the
best movie? Maybe amongst old movies. Otherwise, I wouldn't put it that high. I'm not sure
what movie I'd consider the best though. It's hard not to be biased and include movies that are personal favorites, you know? To me, "best" movie should be good in several areas...production, direction, acting, plot, etc. With all the movies that have come out since
Citizen Cane and
Vertigo, I wouldn't consider these best anymore.
