Vertigo. How the hell did that film beat Citizen Kane as the best film of all time is beyond me. Not only did Vertigo had pacing issues, but also I literally laughed my ass off at the ending of that film. It's ridiculous. I watched "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" several times each, but I just don't find them as gripping as for instance "Dark Passage" (Bogart) or "Now, Voyager!" (which I find a lot more romantic and compelling than "Casablanca").
"Vertigo" and several other Hitchcock movies are my favorite films, I just get into a Hitchcock movie easier than into an Orson Welles movie.
When I forget that it's a film and it feels to me as if I'm part of the movie, THEN I know that it's a great film. I experienced this with several Hitchcocks, many film noirs, but only with one Orson Welles movie called "The Stranger".
