Not in any particular order:
The Magnificent Ambersons
The Trial
F for Fake
Mr Arkadin
Citizen Kane
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned
The Trial
. Welles thought it was his best film, and I agree.

1. The Magnificent Ambersons (I know, I know, I'm a strange one. Even though it was heavily altered by the studio it is still an amazing movie)
2. Citizen Kane
3. Chimes At Midnight (My favorite Orson Welles performance)
4. F For Fake
5. The Stranger

"Citizen Kane"
"Macbeth" (1948)
"Moby Dick" (the 1956 version)
"The Third Man"
"Othello"
I'd list "Chimes at Midnight", but that's more than five.
