Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Forties: The Countdown
I watched The Ox-Bow Incident since its appearance on this list and I thought it was very good. A bleak, taut movie about mob mentality and injustice with no real hero.

Monsieur Verdoux GOOD movie!!
|
Okay, this list is up and ready to be checked off.
Per usual, please let me know ASAP if you see anything amiss. |
Re: The MoFo Top 100 of the Forties: The Countdown
works great, THANKS @Yoda!!!
|
By my count Rope was the only movie of the top 26 that wasn't on a previous list, and 66/100 are on another list already.
|
57 for me this time, which isn't too shabby considering it would have probably been 10 before I got here. one of these years I am going to spend the year knocking off some of these lists...not next year though.
