  • Post subject: Best Ever Films of The 40's [List]
  • Quote


Hey everyone, it's time for BEA's 100 favourite films of the 40's 😄 Definitely a different decade for us... it looks like we'll have a 40's film chart before a 40's album chart 😁

There were a total of 277 individual films submitted, here are the 100 with the most points. Films will be listed off in their most recognized title.

I'll be posting some tidbits about the list after it's all posted. Perhaps I might edit some things into this post as well. Please don't post in this thread until the top 100 is complete. Please discuss in the poll thread if you wish though.

(Runner-ups in alphabetical order: At Land, Leave Her To Heaven, Little Foxes, Naked City and Shoeshine)
