I'm voting mostly on nostalgia. The Big Lebowski doesn't hold up like Goodfellas does. I tried to watch it recently and it was tired and lame - but in its day I found it to be a far more original and enjoyable movie experience.
I think the likelihood is I also won't think Citizen Kane is all it's cracked up to be. After so many years of hearing that it's the ''best film ever made'', and having never seen it myself and therefore built no attachment to it over a course of decades like others have, I'll probably find it overrated.
Because in one way (probably a lot more) or another Citizen Kane influenced all the films on your list
Oh well yeah, *I* don't think it's the greatest film ever made but I do remember watching it for the first time about 15 years ago and thinking that I was going to be less than impressed after all the hype and then as it played couldn't help but think "damn...this is actually...pretty damn good." And then when you take note of when it was made with no other films we've come to know over the last 75+ years in existence yet, it's even more amazing.
But yeah you won't be burning your T2 blu-rays or anything afterward.
