COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting cultural experience submitted by valentina on December 18, 2015, 10:10am I liked the original movie. But most interesting was the documentary and the modern movie about making the original. It is really part of American cultural experience, so if you are interested in it, go ahead and rent the set.

Citizen Kane dvd submitted by a2sue on July 21, 2019, 7:59am This dvd of Citizen Kane is extremely boring! I don't ever need to watch it again.

Hey geniuses: This is the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE. If you find it boring, there is NO HOPE for you. submitted by Tassos on October 13, 2019, 10:13am WORSHIP "CITIZEN KANE." It is a CLASSIC, and also the BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.

CK submitted by tbbrown76 on June 30, 2020, 11:06am Greatest Movie of All Time. Well, it's good. But, I don't think it holds up well over time. I give it four stars out of five. Great for it's time I suppose.
