Scott’s desire to tell people what movies to watch knows no bounds. He’s decided to create a series on here devoted to profiling directors and creating guides to their films. This week’s director is… Orson Welles.

Highly recommended: Citizen Kane (top 100), The Magnificent Ambersons, The Lady from Shanghai, Othello, Touch of Evil (top 100), The Trial, Chimes at Midnight, F for Fake, The Other Side of the Wind

Recommended: The Stranger, Macbeth, Mr. Arkadin

Worth a look: The Hearts of Age (short film; partially directed by Welles), Journey Into Fear (partially directed by Welles), The Immortal Story

Next week’s director is… William A. Wellman
