The Top Movies



1) orson welles as citizen kane

Citizen Kane, 1941

Loosely based on the life of the newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, Citizen Kane is Orson Welles’s story of a young idealistic newspaperman transformed by scandal and vice into a reclusive and regretful old man. It is also a meditation on emotional greed, the ease of amassing wealth, and the difficulty of sustaining love. A much respected masterpiece.

Casablanca, 1942

Itis impossible to overstate the importance of Casablanca in the history of film-making.It is a technically superior movie that tells a great story.
