Continuing with the parade of Best Picture nominees and winners. Slowly moving out of my favorite decade, so the ones I've seen, and that I want to see, will be getting less and less. I really do need to see more films from this period.
Recommended:
Double Indemnity (1944) - Two of my favorites, Stanwyck and MacMurry (with whom I share a birthday). Just a delicious film.
The Best Years Of Our Lives (1946) - An excellent film doing interesting work around the reintegration of military men back into the homefront.
Rebecca (1940) - Classic Hitchcock.
The Lost Weekend (1945) - I saw this while researching alcoholic films and, though not the kind of film I usually like, it was worth watching.
Highly Recommended:
Double Indemnity - I never pass up a chance to recommend Stanwyck again.
Haven't Seen, But Want To:
The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) - I'm ashamed to admit I haven't seen this. I think it is that I find Welles somewhat pretentious and so avoid his films. I shouldn't though.
Really Not Interested:
Kings Row (1942) - Not with you know who as the star.
The Rest:
Hold Back the Dawn (1941)
49th Parallel (1941)
Johnny Belinda (1948)
The Heiress (1949)
Going My Way (1944)
