The Third Man @ 8:00 pm eastern - 5:00 pm pacific

Citizen Kane @ 10:00 pm eastern - 7:00 pm pacific

Touch of Evil @ 12:15 am eastern - 9:15 pm pacific

Citizen Kane is a definate "must see" IF for some reason you have never viewed it before. until The Godfather it was considered by many people the greatest movie ever made. the cinematography may still be the most innovative ever. hell, there have even been other movies like RKO 281 made about the making of Citizen Kane.

Great movies all, but I like the third man the best.

One of the all time great closing scenes.

as a side note, my favorite Orson Welles character after John  Foster Kane is as General Dreedle in the 1970 "absurd comedy" Catch-22

BOTH the Joseph Heller novel AND the movie are anti-war classics

the beauty of the book isnt just its anti-war message , its anti- instutionalism, anti-coprotism, anti-dogma

Heller's Catch-22 along George Orwell's 1984, William Golding's Lord of The Flys, Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five and esp Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet On the Western Front along with Upton Sincair's The Jungle should ALL be required reading for high school students

I'm amazed that The Jungle has never been made into a movie. it's probably the BEST "social commentary" novel EVER
