I agree on Matrix and Dark Knight, which could be considered in the same category as Star Wars, which actually is one of the more recent films on the list.
Of the top of my head, I would add
Frankly, the Lego Batman movie is better than Citizen Kane. There are so many good movies to choose from, I have no idea why this one gets so much recognition to this day.
Wow. That has got to be the most punk rock thing I've read in a while! My sincerest compliments! 🙇 I'm almost envious I hadn't said it first!
Judging by the list that preceeds your audacious statement, that while I don't necessarily agree with all of your choices, it appears you're a person of a certain sensibility regarding film. With that, I say confidently, don't worry. One day you will understand why Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is considered seminal cinema.
BTW, I thought The Lego Batman Movie was cute. AFI 100 Greatest American Films material, no. Cheers!

Pulp fiction was on the list. Which I think answers the point about citizen Kane, which is that the greatness of a film, like a basketball player I suppose, is a lot about their significance in their time. Though you could make a different list without that as a factor.
I like what Tarantino does, which is list best films by decade or within some time window.
@satan @maegul Lego Batman is a funny movie. Citizen Kane is a masterpiece. Threre's a great difference.
