Akash, if I remember correctly, no one actually listed Citizen Kane at number one. However, when the polls were tallied (and OscarGuy would be the definitive source of info for this), Citizen Kane scored highly enough on everyone's lists that it shot to the top (actually how I think Kane tops most collective polls.)Akash wrote:FilmFan720 wrote:1.

I'm slightly disappointed that this board couldn't come up with something more original/worthy for its number one film.
I'm not sure who was on the board at the time this list was made (how old are you guys?) but I can't imagine Damien, Italiano, Sabin, Sonic, Eric among others, listing Citizen fucking Cane as the best film.

Anyone want to take part in another UAADB top 100 list? I'll even tally the results if no one else wants to.
