Must've forgot to copy paste correctly. Let me know if there's any other inaccuracies.

This should be fun. I look forward to seeing lists (great lists I've already seen from Badseed and Gowi and others have been helpful). I will wait awhile before I submit the list. I've got a lot of watching to do.

Huh?

If you're asking how helpful the lists have been, I'd give it an arbitrary helpful grade of **** out of a scale of C+ being the lowest and 8.45 as the highest.

I'm predicting it will skew towards the latter half of the decade.


I have always thought 1940 and 1941 are two of the strongest years not just of the decade but of all time. 1946 too, but it's more top heavy than anything ( handful of great classic films and a few good ones) as opposed to the other two, which literally have a dozen great films each and at least another dozen very good ones.

My top 100 breakdown basically agrees with you outside of 1946 being only a handful, it's the strongest year according to my list:

1940: 11
1941: 7
1942: 7
1943: 7
1944: 9
1945: 9
1946: 16
1947: 11
1948: 11
1949: 12

1948: 11
1949: 12


Decided to break mine down too and 1946 has the most in my top 100 as well. Contradiction? It doesn't fair as well in the 101-200 range, with only six more films making that portion of my chart, which I suppose is what I meant by top heavy. But I never noticed how good 1948 is until now. Here's my breakdown with the submitted 100 and then the total 200 in parenthesis.

1940: 12 (22)
1941: 8 (21)
1942: 9 (21)
1943: 8 (13)
1944: 12 (21)
1945: 9 (18 )
1946: 14 (20)
1947: 8 (18 )
1948: 13 (30)
1949: 7 (16)
