Greatest of all time....tough decision for me. I would have to say one of the best I've seen has to be Gone With the Wind.

I wouldn't begrudge Kane, it's a blazing, bravura work, epic and mythic. The only thing is that this title bestowed on it seems to make the film seem sepia-toned and remote. It's almost more famous for being the Greatest Film Ever than for the film itself. It doesn't seem like it's a living, ever-changing thing like say a Vertigo where people are transfixed by it, bewitched by it, pulled into it. ... good point. Citizen Kane does not seem to move people in the manner of Vertigo or, say, The Graduate. Rather, folks appear to admire and respect Citizen Kane, as opposed to loving it. It is a remarkable film, though, daring and shuddering—a brilliantly dark parable on the American Dream that may be more relevant now than ever before.
