The fact that the literal most important movie ever made has 4% makes me very sad. I don't think Citizen Kane is ever going to win a poll like this, so you should probably watch it on your own, but it is still mandatory viewing for anyone that considers themselves a movie fan. There has never been, and most likely will never be, a more influential film. From a technical standpoint, it is one of the first films to use non-linear storytelling, the first film to truly use a musical score as part of the film and not just for extra dramatic effect, the first film to use dramatic makeup effects to make characters appear different ages, and so much more. From the lighting to the fade-outs and transitions, nearly every film made after this utilized at least some of Orson Welles' visionary techniques. Also, the story and message packs just as much punch now as it did back then, at the end of the Great Depression and the beginning of World War 2. When the film was released, media mogul William Randolph Hearst did everything in his power to stop this movie and make it a commercial failure. At the time he succeeded, and only through the passing of time did people find its true influence on modern filmmaking and give the movie its rightful ranking. Ironic, since media power and censorship has barely improved since the 1940s, if at all.

I'm also disappointed to see that both "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" are getting so few votes. The other films on the list are fine entertainment and I enjoy them as much as anyone, but "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" both stand above all the others as timeless classics that showcase techniques of film making seldom matched. I really wish you could do both, perhaps in a special category of "Great Films." such as the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 films of all time (in which "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" occupy the number 1 and number 3 spots, respectively.) : https://www.afi.com/afis-100-years-100-movies-10th-anniversary-edition/

Those are amazing all-time defining films that will eventually win the polls, but Forrest Gump and Reservoir Dogs are just more widely seen films, that people want to share their experiences with Brandon. I don't think it's a blemish on the audience who is voting. Props to Brandon for including them in the poll. We'll get there. I have a feeling this is just the beginning for Brandon.

Did Forrest Gump or Reservoir Dogs win? They're both at 40%.
