Bah!  Citizen Kane changed filmmaking forever.  Not just from a
technical standpoint (although it did that...check out the low shot of
Kane returning to the office) but more importantly, from a narrative
standpoint.  Kane changed everything.

At University of Missouri (home of the world's first and finest school
of journalism) the students recite the lines along with the movie
every year during j-school week.

I was already thinking about Kane this week.  Spanish-American war
anybody?
