Every movie lover should have this film in his/her library. Especially interesting was the commentary by Roger Ebert.

Remerber watching as a child and was not dissapointed to sit through it again. The film making genius of Orsen Welles is second to none. The 2nd disc, a documentery about Mr. Welles and the making of the film is a can't miss for fim buffs.

Unique

Ah, the sled. Not really sure why this movie is rated so high among the historical films, but what do i know? I just watch what the AFI tells me to.

The best film ever?

It's the best I've ever seen. Why? Because it enters a world of psychology in a unique and powerful way. It exposes the selfish tyrant that lies in all of us. Do we not all do what we do for "I?" What drives us to be what we become? What is our most basic need, our most primal desire?

This film deals with these things in a visceral experience of entertainment. This film had to be quite a risk for 1941 but it's clear that it could not have been any better if made in 2001. I thoroughly enjoyed every last second of it.

If you were expecting an adventure through the mountains and woods there's no doubt that you hated it. But, if you enjoy a trek through the secrets of the human mind, then this film is right up your alley.

And, for Pete's sake, don't desire to see Star Wars in everything.

The work in this film creation is astonishing in 2008. In 1941 it would have been state of the art. In fact, it's hard to believe the film wasn't made in 2008. It's clearly ahead of it's time.

still number 1

No matter how many times I have seen Welles's film, I continue to be impressed. Its acting, directing,and writing keep the story moving. Even knowing what "rosebud" is by now makes no difference. It is always worth watching. The second video, the battle Hearst waged against the film, was also fascinating. Quality service. Thanks !

I really enjoyed this movie...

I hardly think this is the best film ever made. It's too gimmicky by half. The script isn't all that wonderful and I feel the Rosebud thing was a disappointment. It looks and feels like a magician show. Money can't buy you love-but if it can get you 9 out of 10 things in life-that ain't bad. Buy a dog. They love unconditionally. If you curious to see what all the hype is about or if you're studying film-then it's worth seeing.

Pleased

The quality of the DVD's are really good. I studied this movie as part of a "Film" elective study and it brought back the good memories. We didn't have the benefit of the 2nd disk in those days. Really interesting for those who love the movie making industry.

This is a must see. At least for the record

I am not sure I want to jump on the bandwagon and claim that this is the greatest movie ever. However, I enjoyed it and highly recommend the dvd set. The dvd set has a documentary too. It seems that the life story of Orson Wells is as interesting as the movie and has certain resemblance to the character Kane in the movie.

Rosebud

What a catch-phrase if there ever was one. I remember this saying from when I was a youngster. But now that I am an adult I can understand the movie for its point of view and suggestions.
