Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane is a 1941 film, directed by and starring Orson Welles. It was his debut movie and featured a lot of cinematic innovations, alongside a powerful story about the rise and fall of a newspaper tycoon, Charles Foster Kane. The film became a classic and is often called "the greatest film of all time" by film critics and therefore frequently referenced on The Simpsons. So much, in fact, that one of the writers claimed that it may be, alongside The Godfather, the most parodied film on the show.
