The 100 Most Significant Political Films of All Time

[Ninurta]

Coming in at...

#33: Citizen Kane (1941) I thought this would be in top 10.

I agree, but it was a major attempt to purvey yellow Journalism and that may've been a factor.

I think the fact that William Randolph Hearst conducted a fairly successful campaign against that film due to it's unflattering and thinly-veiled portrayal of him may have had some affect on the ranking of the movie in this listing. I believe most folks familiar with it would rank it higher than 33rd.

Hearst fairly successfully derailed it's box office success at the time of it's release, and that probably continues to affect it's ranking to this day.
