1940's Hall of Fame II

I'm the only one who has revealed what my nom is and it's not that I'm also 99% sure i've got Day of Wrath right and it's not Cosmics.

That would've challenged His Girl Friday for my #1. HGF would have won out though.

I'd totally join a Ghost/Supernatural HoF.

For now, I'll just say I've seen 5 of them including my own. Nobody has guessed what I nominated yet. Beauty and the Beast lol f**kin Camo.

I was going to say that maybe I made a mistake in nominating what I did but...I stand by it.

Despite the fact that I haven't seen it in nearly 20 years.
And the fact that I think most people won't actually like it.

I don't know if it is happening, Vamp was just saying it would be interesting to do one.

I was only joking with that post. Because, i mean... it's called Ghost Dad. I've not seen it but it has to be some sort of masterpiece, right?

I won't say now what my second choice was, because than everybody would know my nomination, but I'll say some films that were definitiely under consideration.

I strongly considered Sciuscia by De Sica but ultimately decided against it because I thought it was too thematically and atmospherically similar to my nomination in 13th HoF. I also thought of perhaps nominating some of Visconti's 40's stuff and I had Brute Force by Jules Dassin as possible blind nomination. Speaking of Dassin, I found it really shame that his film "Night and the City" didn't come out couple of months earlier to be eligible, because it would possibly be my first choice.

Btw, I'm pretty sure I know what Cricket's nomination is.

That's some good guessing, Vamp. I only expected one film to be nominated, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and it was

There's been lots of movies that have been nominated twice. Laura was in the last 40s Hof and before that in the Film noir, same with Double Indemnity. A Ghost Story Hof Now that you've mentioned it, you have to do it...and you got dibs on The Ghost and Mrs. Muir for that one too (unless it wins here).

I'm thinking Double Indemnity is a strong contender for #1 spot.

I considered what was one of my choices with the first 40's HoF (which I was unable to participate in), which was The Picture of Dorian Gray. And even after I nominated what I nominated (yes, I am being careful as to not reveal which is mine ), I still considered The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Others that I considered were:
Penny Serenade
Mrs. Miniver
Going My Way
Woman of the Year
Now, Voyager
The Corn is Green

OMG Ghost Dad! LOL

I know what your movie is, and I'm looking forward to watching it. I think it looks very promising.

If there is enough interest (and so far there is a little bit of an interest in it ), I will do it. It wouldn't be for awhile, of course. There are other HoF's that need to happen before that one, but I am completely up for doing one like that.

I came up with this idea last year. I just happened to watch 3 films that centered around a ghostly theme over one weekend. One was more horror (although I never consider them to be too horrific), one was suspense and the other was a comedy. So ghost story films do come in a variety of genres. I think it would be an interesting one to do.

I've never seen it, but hey! It could be nominated.

On a serious note: i do love Ghost Story films and well...stories, usually even badly made/told ones. I think anyone who has read my posts here knows i'm extremely skeptical and don't believe in ghosts at all but i do love taking myself out of that and allowing myself to be creeped out.

My girlfriends mum told me a (according to her real) story that may be ghost or may be intruder that chilled me to my core the other week

Just some random guesses

Ed-Sea Hawk
Jeff-Day of Wrath
Thursday-Beauty and the Beast
CR-Pink Horse
GB-His Girl Friday

It was a very close call between those two films, actually. I love them both, but I chose Gentleman Jim because it's Flynn's personal fave of all the movies he starred in.

I'm curious to see what everyone thinks of it. I'm also pleased to say I've only seen five of the noms. It'll make this so much more fun

Mark F said Gentleman Jim is his favourite Raoul Walsh film and he's seen loads of them, so i'm looking forward to it.

Pretty good you got 3 right.

You got 0 right.

You got 1 right.

Alright any more guesses, before I post who nominated the films?
