Citizen Kane (1941)
7/10
maybe had I seen it in 1941..
7 September 1999
Citizen Kane ------------ This was #1 on AFI's Top 100, and it was one of only two in their top 10 I hadn't seen. (Still haven't seen Gone With the Wind.) So I rented this one. I guess the big deal wasn't so much the story, which was a good one, but all the camera angles and lighting or whatever that Orson Welles. Well, I don't care about any of that. I just want a good story and good acting. There was plenty of that here. I knew Rosebud was the mystery going in so I kept my eyes open. I kept my eyes open and figured it out. Lucky guess, or it may have been because I'd seen it in crossword puzzles and never knew what it meant.. You know where the clue is: Like Rosebud, and the answer is 5 letters: asled.

Pretty good movie, not worthy of #1 if you ask me. I give it a solid 7
