I just watched Citizen Kane again recently, first time since film school. My goodness, what a technical marvel that film is. He was so far ahead of his time it’s mind-blowing.

Probably more people saw his wine commercials than "Citizen Kane."
"We will sell no wine before it is bottled!"

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I'm a big Welles fan and had not realized it was his centennial this year. I think
Citizen Kane is my favorite film. I still remember seeing it for the first time in the 70's after a steady diet of Hollywood films of the era. It still stands out as unique and fascinating to me.
I also like a lot of Welles' later films, such as The Trial, Chimes at Midnight, Touch of Evil, Othello, Macbeth, etc.

Citizen Kane dialog and acting was to me stilted.
He could tell a story be it on film or when he was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
