| - | :Citizen Kane: Cinema's Shakespeare: "[[Sight & Sound]] editor [[Nick James]], who, interestingly enough, doesn't have Kane in his own Top 10, commented this week that ''[[Citizen Kane]]'' is now 'established as cinema's [[Shakespeare]]'. This is a telling remark, even if it was just a [[soundbite]]. It indicates where these latest lists are coming from and why they are so frustrating for younger critics. The lists judge cinema as literature. The critics' list, certainly, reads like a reading-list Oxbridge students get sent before their first term. Don't even come here, says such a list, unless you've read all these. ''[[La Règle du jeu]]'' is your [[Flaubert]], ''[[Vertigo]]'' [[D.H. Lawrence]] - ooh, they let us do Lawrence in the second year! - and [[Murnau]]'s ''Sunrise'', that's definitely ''[[Beowulf]]''."
