1940's Hall of Fame II

count me in sir

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.

Totally agree, all the movies were enjoyable. No matter how amazing the films are, if they're ranked there's always a film that's last.

As far as I'm concerned all of the noms are winners

My voting list
1 Day of Wrath
2 Double Indemnity
3 Ride the Pink Horse
4 His Girl Friday
5 The Ghost and Mrs Muir
6 I Remember Mama
7 Mr. Lucky
8 Body and Soul
9 The Sea Wolf
10 Beauty and the Beast
11 Odd Man Out

I put my own nom, I Remember Mama 6th. One of these days I'll actually vote for my own movie

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.

I'm not overly fond of where His Girl Friday placed, but I am happy to see that The Ghost and Mrs. Muir won. I knew that was my favorite as soon as I saw it, and I am just not that much of a fan of Double Indemnity, to be honest. Call me stupid if you will, but I don't understand the praise that film receives.


Anyway, I can't post my list. I must've deleted it. I think my top 3 were The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, His Girl Friday and I Remember Mama. I don't remember how I exactly positioned the rest of them. And I am not going to guess that.


By the way, @Citizen Rules, I almost posted YOUR list for the countdown in here just now. I am so tired, and I wasn't thinking, and all I saw was "40's" and "list" and your name. And then I realized what I was looking at, and then I realized that I'd actually deleted my list for this.



Also, now that this is done, anyone who was planning on sending me a list for the countdown can still do so! There is still time.

Vamp thank you for taking on the hard task of doing a 1940's MoFo Countdown for us all.

As much work (and fun) that a Hof is for the host, an official MoFo Countdown demands many, many hours from the host. I'm sure you'll have spent 100's of hours on doing the Countdown for us. So you deserve a lot of credit

It really took no time at all to fill out a voting list for the 40's Countdown...I mean I had already seen those films before, so I just started at what I felt was #1 of the 40's films I had seen,, then #2 on down to #25...

There are so many great films from the 1940's and every single film in this Hof deserves to be considered for someone's list for the Countdown.


BTW there was a 1st 1940's Hof, hosted by Sean

Some great movies there too.

10 Pursued (1947) 52 points - Camo
11 Thief Of Bagdad (1940) 45 points - Rauldc14
12 Fantasia (1940) 33 points - Clazor


Between the two Hofs there's more than enough films to fill out a voting list.

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.

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.

Jeff, what are your reservations?

A MoFo wide Countdown is sort of like this Hof. In that the people who participant directly influence what movies make the list of Top 100 and in what order. The cool thing is Yoda will link it to the List feature of MoFo.

I don't know what your reservations could be. If you want to see how last year's countdown turned out, this is it:

So, it will something akin to that one (and akin to other major countdowns on here).

Have i missed the countdown? I've been out today😳

Oh, no. The deadline will be tomorrow.

The countdown will start the following week.

But it won't happen all in one day. It will actually take place over a few weeks with a couple of films revealed each day.

So you didn't miss anything. And unless you go on a trip for a month, you most likely won't miss anything when the countdown is happening either.

Danni, you're in luck, this wasn't the countdown, this was a Hall of Fame movie watching event that a group of us joined. You should join one of these too, you'd be great fun.

The big MoFo Top 100 40's Countdown is hosted by SilentVamp and this is the thread about it here:

Whoops, Vamp was a quicker typist than I.

She already sent a list.

And that is probably why she was a little worried that she missed it.

I'll PM you, if that's ok.

Oops! I just quoted something that you deleted.

Cool😃. I'll look out for it!😃

Yeah the two quotes came in with a second between them

Totally cool, I like people and I like PMs.
