Can't go wrong really with any of his first 10 movies. after that they get progressively longer (still amazing obv). my favorite of that first run is High School.

for all it's meta-narrative conceits and internal references, it's kind of remarkable how *little* like Welles the Jake Hannaford character is. Welles was not this macho showman universally hailed for making stars out of actors or with particularly intense relationships w younger actors afaict, and he certainly wouldn't have made anything quite like the film-within-a-film shown here, which (as others have noted) is closer to something like Zabriskie Point or one of the "acid westerns" than anything in Welles' ouevre. Welles loved dialogue too much, for one thing.― Οὖτις, Thursday, November 8, 2018

i'll be pretty amused if they finish "the other side of the wind" and it turns out to be a huge turd, but you know almost everything welles had a hand in is, at the very least, interesting. as with that talk show above.― amateurist, Monday, 11 May 2015

It made my list on the strength of my anticipation and the car scene; the making-of documentary helhped too.

I regarded it as a curio, nothing more, though some of the later scenes with Huston are compelling.

mostly because watching Welles talk about films and making films is so reliably entertaining
I can think of few artists in any genre whose insights into his own work and colleagues, erudition (he's as likely to quote Shakespeare and Conrad as he is the NY Post), and charm come together as fetchingly as they do in Orson Welles.

Yeah. He annoyed Bogdanovich in his 1970s interviews when he insisted that Kane betrays Leland (and the Declaration of Principles), not the other way around, just like Quinlan betrays Menzies.

cumming's framing in the making of doc was insufferable, and it also completely ignores f for fake if i remember. found the shorter a final cut for orson much more compelling

Was big on Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums at the time, but just lost my taste for him, I guess. Moonrise Kingdom looks appealing, though, so maybe it'll hook me back in.
