Citizen Kane (1941)
Folks in the 21st Century still rave about this film. Orson Welles is no stranger to greatness, but this film even outlasts his own personal legacy. A journalist gets hung up on a media mogul's famous last words as he tries to unravel what he truly meant.
Casablanca (1942)
A war-time movie mixed with a tale of two lovers dominates the playing field for "best classic film." Casablanca follows through with creating tension with real-world problems mixed with the strain of a never-meant-to-be relationship. The storytelling throughout the entire film keeps audiences hooked!
