Shadow of a Doubt (1943): A good one by Hitchcock. Great acting. Subtle suspencer
Citizen Kane (1941): A masterpiece, but some characters can be a little bit carboard.Welles and Cotten are great and so is the way it is shot and how the story evolves; DVD ~~$20~~ $15
Magnificent Ambersons, The (1942): Mostly very good. Great cinematography and would have been masterpiece had the studio not cut the film by 40 min and let Welles finish it. The ending is not whar Welles envisaged, and kind of a let down
