   So you haven't seen what is considered to be one of the greatest   
   American movies (it's #3 on the AFI top 100), yet you feel qualified to   
   comment on what movies are better than others?   
      
   I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you either haven't seen   
   Citizen Kane, or you also consider it to be "boring garbage" like   
   Shakespeare. What do you consider to be great cinema?   
      
   If any movie by Michael Bay is in your list, that would be telling.
