Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

As for the 40's countdown, I will maybe take a peek at it to see what this is all about and possibly comment on couple of films, though I have my reservations about the event.

Sounds swell, Ed ! I will try to finish up the 14th HoF in the upcoming three weeks, so I could join the 70's without any stress. Afterwards, I'll likely take a quick break from the HoF's.

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

I'd also like to give a special shout-out to 'Gentleman Jim' . Even though it ended up disqalified, it was one of my favourite nominations in this tournament.

Normally I avoid doing so, but I think I'll have to watch "The Sea Wolf" on laptop with my headphones on. The sound on a telly is pretty bad, even when I put the volume on maximum.

And yeah I too...

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

The Sea Wolf is the only nomination left for me. I actually tried to watch it today, but had a pretty miserable time trying to hear what the actors were saying. Since I don't have available english...

Mr. Lucky (1943) : I don't have any real objections here. Thought this was a very charming and enjoyable romantic drama whose value was also elavated by its obscurity. Cary Grant was naturally the...

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

Speaking of thematic Hall of Fames, I think I'd be inclined towards doing more of the decade ones. I noticed the 40's and 50's were already done, so I guess we could try 60's or 70's next. Would...

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

I've seen Dragonwyck couple of times. It was actually one of the films I considered nominating. Gene is pretty good there, though it's more of a Vincent Price show.

Re: 1940's Hall of Fame II

The review count should be corrected for Raul and me. Otherwise, I think all the reviews are in place.
