| Citizen Kane | 1941 | 81 | 1 | - The sensational story about the world's biggest sensationalist is, well, pretty sensational. | | The Great Dictator | 1940 | 81 | 1 | - Here's the thing: in a vacuum, 'The Great Dictator' is only good, not great. But what makes it special and remembered as such a remarkable film is the how brazen it is with its satire RIGHT as these very events are unfolding. This is not 'Catch 22' making light of World War II years after the fact, it's did it in the present, in the face of everything AS it went on. And THAT is what makes this film special. | | The Pride of the Yankees | 1942 | 60 | 3 | - The film says Lou Gehrig was a simple man. But in actuality, the film portrays him as just a simpleton. And that does this baseball legend no service. |
