Admittedly, I'm not the best versed poster on the 40s.... I've seen a good deal of 40s classics, but there's many I haven't. Citizen seems to have tremendous knowledge of 40s films.

I'll make a 60s list soon.

Speaking of the 60s, I have to make it a point to watch Lawrence of Arabia one day. It's one of the classics I admit I haven't seen in full... I saw the first 20 minutes.

70 - Five Easy Pieces / Patton
71 - The French Connection / Dirty Harry
72 - The Godfather / Sleuth
73 - The Last Detail / Enter the Dragon
74 - The Godfather Part II / Chinatown
75 - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest / Jaws
76 - Network / Rocky
77 - Julia / The Turning Point
78 - Halloween / Up in Smoke
79 - Apocalypse Now / Being There

I'm a big Enter The Dragon fan as well!
