Citizen Kane[/I] generally tops critics' polls, and fans' polls tend to be biased to the Star Wars / LoTR end of things, or sometimes The Shawshank Redemption (for those with more 'sophisticated' by not 'arty' tastes!).
Sight and Sound's 2002 poll had The Godfather films in 4th:
1. Citizen Kane
2. Vertigo
3. The Rules of the Game
4. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II
5. Tokyo Story
6. 2001: A Space Odyssey
7. The Battleship Potemkin
8. Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
9. 8½
10. Singin' in the Rain
Shurly shome mishtake? Not many lists that wouldn't have The Godfathers in at number one and number two? I don't think they can exist. As for guff like Star Wars and LotR (which I refuse to go and watch), they can stick that up their clunges. As for 'Rules of the game' and the excruciatingly boring '2001' in that list, they can kiss my ring.
