The best movie ever made? The American Film Institute crowned this 1941 film as such – not a bad honor, for a guy making his directorial and starring big-screen debut. That would be Orson Welles, the young pioneer who took all the tricks he had learned in radio and combined them with brand new ones. The result: A fascinating, visually rich and resonant movie about the life and death of a media mogul.

Citizen Kane is a great movie, but I'd still place Casablanca in the top spot. These movies can be viewed over and over and each time there is a new nuance or two to enjoy. Casablanca last week, Citizne Kane this week...life is good.
