Citizen Kane

A piece of media in which everything that was groundbreaking about it at the time of its release has now been so thoroughly adopted into mainstream production techniques that it's impossible to see *why* it was so amazing without a guidebook. (Named via comparison to popularly cited once-groundbreaking film, Citizen Kane.)
