Citizen Kane has ruined any pleasure I might have gained from watching movies since I tend to always expect the scene per scene depth that CK has. I'm always expecting either some visually beautiful shots or subtext within the scene but anything I have watched so far has always fallen short of delivering the same amount of material that CK delivers to the viewer.
Can anyone suggest any movies with approximately the same amount of depth that CK has? -

Shawshank Redemption? How? It is a total different Story and doesnt even has the same tone.
There is a TV show called Boss which has some similarities and even pays homage to the Movie by calling the Main character Tom Kane. -

If you consider that it is a work of fiction but based a a real-life and very powerful man (plus other factors) I would say this film is unique. A great movie also.
I recommend you read the IMDB trivia-

Not very similar but if you want depth try Andrei Tarkovsky's films,
like Andrei Rublev,Stalker or Mirror(Zerkalo).
and Sergei Parajanov's,mainly Sayat Nova and Shadows of our forgotten ancestors.
There's also Lars von Trier,Bela Tarr,Eric Rohmer,Michael Haneke,Taviani Brothers,Terrence Malick,Carlos Reygadas,Krzysztof Kieslowski(Decalogues),Frantisek Vlcil and I find much depth in Kubrick too.
These people make some deep films,but maybe you're looking for a particular similarity to Kane.
and as written above,8 1/2,great film. -

"Lawrence of Arabia"; its narrative structure is very similar, it starts with the death of the main charachter and then his life is told in flash back through the point of view of the different people who met him. Like Kane, Lawrence is somewhat of an angel fallen from grace, victim to his own demons and profoundly unhappy inspite of a shiny and glorious appearance.
