I acknowledge that Citizen Kane is without a doubt the greatest movie ever main, but my personal favorite has long been The Third Man. The story, the acting, and especially the cinimatography are outstanding. The use of light & dark, curves and spirals support the story’s theme that nothing is ever quite what it seems. The only straight lines in the film come at the very end, when the puzzle inside the enigma is finally resolved. I was devastated to learn the it was no longer on the list. Let’s hope another decade creates a new audience and brings it back.
