Orson Welles Appreciation Thread
I know this will sound redundant, but yes, my favorite movie of his is "Citizen Kane" but I'd say I'd rather watch a 2-hour interview, as opposed to a 2-hour movie of his.
Orson Welles Interview Tomorrow with Tom Snyder 4-8-1975 https://youtu.be/XSHrSCZI37Y |
F for Fake (Vérités et Mensonges) is my fav by Welles at the moment..
And The Third Man my fav with Welles.. Still many films with and by Welles I haven't seen though.. The Trial will probably be the next one I'll see.. |

This is history. And a director/actor, who talks movies. And on a possible future attack with the USSR.

The Trial is my favorite so far, but I also have a special fondness for The Stranger.

Although my favorites of Welles' are Citizen Kane and The Third Man, I like everything he was ever in.
And I've been forever grateful to him for suggesting to Peter Bogdanovich that he film The Last Picture Show (1971) in black and white-- a novel masterstroke at the time. |
Count me as a fan of The Stranger and The Trial as well.
The Magnificent Ambersons might be his best, that I’ve seen, so far. Which is probably about roughly half hai directed filmography. |

He has a bunch of better movies, but Mr. Arkadin is like a love letter Orson Welles penned directly to me.

Also, in spite of giving three of his films a 10/10, Citizen Kane isn't one of them (not that I have any issues with it ofc).

Re: Orson Welles Appreciation Thread
I'm so not in line with most MoFos movie taste. As much as I like Orson Welles and most of his films that I've seen, I couldn't finish The Trial. Twice I tried and the last time I made it about half way through before giving up on it.

Re: the above video I posted... I don't know why they included the scene from Mork & Mindy... although Mork's boss's name was "Orson", I never thought the voice was supposed to be an imitation or even a reference to Orson Welles in any way.
Similar with the Michael Palin skit - I remember that, but never made the connection that he was attempting to impersonate Welles... although the beard, the cape & the outfit do kind suggest that. |
You are correct, Captain, the Orson on Mork and Mindy had NOTHING to do with Orson Welles.

(Its inclusion kind of throws off what would have otherwise been a very amusing video of continuous Orson Welles impressions). |
I absolutely love him. I especially love The Stranger, which was on my top 25 list. I also love listening to his radio plays. He just breathes such life into all the characters he plays.

I always thought Orson's interviews were more interesting than his movies.
