Orsen Welles' masterpiece about news reporters scrambling to discover the meaning of a famous tycoon's final utterance.
Thoughts
The details are fuzzy, but I recall a strong performance by Welles, fantastic use of shadows, and of course, "Rosebud". Given the lofty expectations as the best film of all time, naturally it felt underwhelming.
What I would change
Not sure.

Charlie Chaplin stars in a Nazi satire as a dictator and a Jewish barber who is mistaken for the dictator.
Thoughts
Sadly, I do not remember much, except a weird scene with a giant Earth globe. I probably should re-watch this sometime.
What I would change
No idea.

Humphrey Bogart in a film noir about a priceless statuette.

Don't remember much except that it was very film noir-ish, full of shadows and mood. Sorry.
