    I wouldn’t say it hasn’t aged but there is a reason Citizen Kane is often cited as the greatest film of all time. If you changed Charles Foster Kane’s profession from newspaper tycoon to social media magnate the story would take on a whole new relevance.

    It was a very provocative film in its time. William Randolph Hearst forbid any of his newspapers to even mention it. Not surprising as it’s critical undertone was aimed squarely at him and his peers.

    Edit: Sunset Boulevard is another oldie but goody.

      I think the humor of Casablanca ultimately makes it age just a bit better than Citizen Kane, but they really are both phenomenal movies.
