Citizen Kane vs. The Thing
Obviously, with all the films it's pitted against, The Thing is the greatest film of all-time. Or is it? Could Kane run the alien creature into the ground with his yellow journalism, or would the shape-shifting beast ride Rosebud into eternity?

I give Citizen Kane a HUGE edge because I always wanted to fuck young Agnes Moorehead. 
...The Thing...not so much.

One on one, I think the Thing would make short work of Charles Foster Kane. If, however, this is a fight that drags on over many weeks in the media, The Thing would still win. Sure, Kane's newspapers would say that it is inhuman but it would only take one brave Barbara Walters interview to show the Thing's compassionate side, at which point it would be celebrated.

Only Alien or Se7en can trump The Thing. And that's by the skin of their teeth. The Thing wins over every movie ever! (Except the already mentioned Alien and Se7en.)
