Well something's got to be last, and I enjoyed it least. I don't think there were any really bad movies in this hall of fame at all.

Mr Lucky

I didn't know anything about this before going in, except that it had Cary Grant in it, and was pleasantly surprised. I have to admit I didn't know what to expect and it wasn't obvious...

Haha, I do the same. I've got seven films left to go on that but they're all ones like Happiness, Funny Games (which I'll probably never watch), Naked Lunch and Man Bites Dog so I'd have to be in the...

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

Just two more to go for me now - waiting to see if Gentleman Jim is still in the running, and I'm pretty sure my mum has Mr Lucky amongst her dvds so will hopefully catch that at the weekend.

I Remember Mama

“What do you have to do that’s so important?”
“I have to chloroform a cat!”

(Spoilers, I suppose)

This movie reminded me of two things. The first is the TV show The...

I've got plenty of space on my list :) Two of the nominated films (mine plus one other) will definitely be there, but there's still room for anything else that knocks my socks off in the meantime.

Ride the Pink Horse

This was a strange film and I kind of liked that. I liked the start, with the mysterious man turning up at the hotel. Who is he? What does he want? How far will he go to get...

His Girl Friday

I have seen this film twice. Partly because I remembered so little of it the first time round, but I’m not sure why as the second time it certainly stuck with me. Perhaps it’s...

Beauty and the Beast

I admired this movie, but I didn’t love it. It wasn’t as enchanting as I hoped it would be, but it is still impressive. I found it a little gloomy, but on the other hand I...

Unpopular opinion time: I didn’t really like this movie. I watched it and all the parts were there but it didn’t do anything for me. I found it stilted (is that the right word?)...

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

Just looked up some of the movies. Initial thoughts:

1. Some of these movies are surprisingly not easy to get.
2. TWO MOVIES ABOUT BOXING? WHAT IS GOING ON?

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

As Camo guessed straight away, my choice was Day of Wrath. I almost nominated it for the last 'general' hall of fame and I almost didn't nominate it now because I was going to save it for the next...
