It's taken me too long to post this. Since May I think. So I'll keep it brief and limit it to the films I saw for the first time.

Journey into Fear (1943) - Solid faux-Welles pic. Not enough suspense. B-

Macbeth (1948) - Amazing real Welles pic. Great cinematography and set design. Must see. A

The Immortal Story (1968) - Intriguing and dark low scale Welles. Very good. B+

Mr. Arkadin (1955) - Intricate and engaging. Puzzling and thought-provoking. Good stuff. A-

The Stranger (1946) - Fantastic Wellesian suspense film. Good enough for me. B

...I approve of this Orson binge.

Interesting to read that you rated Arkadin. It seems to generally be considered as Welles' worst film but I think it's terrific.
