I liked most of these movies about the same amount, which made ranking them pretty hard. I knew Little Foxes would be my #1, and I had Laura at #2. 5-11 in particular could have been in any order. I...

If I'm not mistaken, it's from The Three Musketeers (1973).

Re: 1940's Hall Of Fame Part I

I agree that the order is by far the hardest part. I'm really bad at making ranked lists. I don't think I'd ever be able to do a Top 100 Films list, or anything like that.

I don't even have a Top...

Re: 1940's Hall Of Fame Part I

I just have How Green Was My Valley left. I was going to watch it today, but it looks like I might not have time now. I predicted that I would likely finish this HoF by the new year, so just to prove...

Too bad you couldn't enjoy it. But other than the cinematography, there's nothing really special about the film or its characters, so I completely understand people not being too fond of it.

It was...fine. It was dull at times, but it was also occasionally witty. I really liked the costume design. It's not a movie I think I'd watch again though.

Re: 1940's Hall Of Fame Part I

Peter Lorre is in The Verdict. If you like him you should give it a watch. It's not a film I see mentioned very often, so maybe it's not quite as good as I remember, but I recall liking it quite a...

The lack of resources is actually one of the reasons why the director fell back on Expressionism (I already mentioned the other reason awhile ago - wanting to distance...

Thanks. I feel like I haven't said much about the films I've watched lately, but then again not every write-up needs to be 1000 words. And I just realized how little I wrote about The Suspect. I...
