What kind of great?
An overall amazing, historically important and influential film? No, not at all.
A great mix of writing, acting, editing, etc.? Eh, probably so, but maybe not. It's certainly a character piece and it is great at that. Not sure the rest is really up to snuff. But it's debatable.
People make me laugh. Yeah, the movie is just ok

Eh, I didn't say the movie was ok at all, I said two things:
It's greatness overall, as a Top 100, or even worse, Top 50, is out of the question. As said above, it isn't Citizen Kane. It also isn't Metropolis, Seven Samurai, The Godfather, or any number of truly great films.
Yes there are 100, probably more than 200 truly better films, at least. (Let's see where it fits on our Top 200 thread).
Secondly, its "greatness" through quality of "parts" is debatable. I'd probably be on the side of "pretty good," but I'm admittedly overly harsh on film. I feel a film really has to connect, has to be perfect in multiple ways to be a great film. SotL falls just short for me.
And no one can say if it's perfect as a fact, so I admit, it's debatable, and I certainly be up for the debate.
