Silver Screen Streak List #21: Dramas of the 1940s
Written by dorrk |
List 21. God, this is taking a long time. Over two years, and we're just getting close to the end of Round One.
One of the recurring themes of the Silver Screen Streak Movie Challenge has been: "You need to watch more movies from The Golden Era of Hollywood." Some of the previous lists covered in the project have been Childhood Dramas of the 1940s, TSPDT's 1000 Essential Noir Films, Humphrey Bogart's Filmography, and Robert Mitchum's Filmography, all of which are rooted in the classic Hollywood period.
Two of my Top 5 movies of this entire challenge could've been on this list had I not already watched them — The Heiress (1949) and The Fallen Idol (1948) — and the top 10% of my Flickchart already includes 19 movies from the 1940s. There's room for more, and I've been looking forward to several of these upcoming titles for some time.
THE FIRST TWO
MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (1946)
Dir.: JOHN FORD
THE STRANGER (1946)
Dir.: ORSON WELLES
THE NEXT EIGHT
The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946)
Letter From An Unknown Woman (1948)
Now, Voyager (1942)
The Pride of the Yankees (1942)
Day of Wrath (1943)
Leave Her to Heaven (1945)
Meet John Doe (1941)
