1. Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is often considered to be one of actor, director and screenwriter Orson Welles' best work. The film focuses on  reporter Jerry Thompson trying to discover the meaning of publishing magnate Charles Foster Kane's last word: "Rosebud." The reporter travels, interviewing friends, family and associates of Kane in order to figure out what Kane's final word could have meant. Along the way, Thompson gets an in-depth look into the life of Kane through the stories and information given to him by those who knew Kane. The film is excellently written and does a great job looking into the life of a wealthy man with many personal struggles. In addition, the 1941 film is considered one of the most influential films of all time through its writing, camerawork and music.         

         

2. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

In my opinion, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is the greatest western that was ever made. Starring western legend Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name, the film focuses on three men pursuing $20,000 that a dead soldier has buried. The film's depiction of war, greed and survival helps to make the film worth the nearly thre-hour watchtime. The film includes of a lot of violence and includes of many infamous, sometimes comical, quotes.   

                          

 

 3. The Wood

The Wood is a 1999 film that focuses on three men recalling their childhood memories as one of them preparies to get married. The three comes across trouble when one of the friends, who is drunk, is late to his wedding. They all continue to reminisce on their childhood experiences as the two friends travel to get their friend to his wedding. This is one of my favorite comedy films. The Wood is a fun watch, and the stories featured in the story are very comical and entertaining.
