Wednesday May 4 TCM is playing Citizen Kane at 8:00 eastern time and following that is the Magnificent Ambersons. TMA is considered just as good as Citizen Kane, and has Joseph Cotton (Mr Leland from Kane, "you wouldn't have a cigar on you young man, would you? ") that's 4 1/2 hours of the best Orson Welles movies in one night!

I wonder how Akira Kurosawa's film Ikiru (1952) stacks up to Citizen Cane. They sound similar in that the films tell their narratives through a series of flashbacks. I still havent seen Ikiru yet but they sound somewhat similar.
