• 700 reviews and counting--what will it take?
  On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles directed and narrated what would prove to be one of the entertainment world's best practical jokes ever--the radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds." Granted, no one was seriously harmed by this, but it was deemed by many to be heartlessly deceptive.

  I watched this movie for the first time in english class. I had to write a paper of 8 pages about it. I was amazed by all the elements and interested in what "Rosebud" was. I will admit that I still cry at the end of this movie because like Kane, some of us has lost a something so precious when we are kids that even when the money we have now, we cannot replace it. The music score doesn't help to hold the tears. Just magnificent how a man that was thought to have everything had nothing.
