O.K., I just got to know: what makes Citizen Kane great?

Board,

I'll be inviting all accusations of "troll" with this post (so *sacred* is this movie), but I can't see its greatness EXCEPT in historical terms, the proverbial "1st film to . . ."

Kindly name SOLID reasons (of artistic/literary merit) why this film deserves to be called great. Also, if applicable, name your 'prejudices' in favor of the film (i.e., going INTO the movie-viewing biased in favor of going to see an acclaimed classic, etc.)

Respect,
Guy
