It is a freakin' great movie. It is, I say with comfort, the greatest English movie ever made. Even if there is debate it is where the movie should be in the top five.

Saying Citizen Kane is a good movie is like saying the Mona Lisa is a decent drawing or Michael Jordan was a fair basketball player.

Ok, let me rephrase. I LOVED Citizen Kane! I need to watch it a few more times to fully appreciate it. I fell asleep for five minutes because we were watching it late at night. When I fell asleep he was driving off with his second wife. When I woke up they were in Xanadu and the doctor was at her bed. Did she try to kill herself?

That's my take on it. He does say something to the nurse about not knowing how Mrs. Kane mixed up these bottles etc.

That's right where I woke up. The whole movie I'm going, "Wow, the guy playing CK is really good!" Then the credits come up and it's Orson Wells. Duh to me!
