NOTE: This is the final film on “the list”, but fear not, Zach on Film will continue.
CITIZEN KANE
Citizen Kane is a 1941 American drama film produced by, co-written by, directed by and starring Orson Welles. The picture was Welles’s first feature film. The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories; it won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Welles. Considered by many critics, filmmakers, and fans to be the greatest film ever made, Citizen Kane was voted the greatest film of all time in five consecutive Sight & Sound ’s polls of critics, until it was displaced by Vertigo in the 2012 poll. It topped the American Film Institute’s 100 Years … 100 Movies list in 1998, as well as AFI’s 2007 update. Citizen Kane is particularly praised for its cinematography, music, and narrative structure, which were innovative for its time.

Must have more Jackhammer on film episodes!
I’d say for animation going forward the works of Ralph Bakshi should not be overlooked, because without his work I don’t think we would have gotten things like The Simpsons or South Park.
Tree of Life, (will get into it more when episode arrives) typifies the ‘just because it’s critically acclaimed does not make it a good movie.’
Minor note: Love both movies, but Dredd with the script it had had gone into production before The Raid,which did release first.
