American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•32 • Aug 6, 2012

The 1958 Alfred Hitchcock thriller Vertigo was named the greatest movie of all time in the British Film Institute's annual ranking of the top 50 movies, ousting Orson Welles' 1941 classic Citizen Kane from the spot it had occupied for half a century. What do you think?

“Hey, now that you mention it, it is objectively much better.” ”
