I was surprised to see Double Indemnity and Its A Wonderful Life at 10. I guess I thought they'd be too 5. I was projecting a Citizen Kane, Casablanca, It's A Wonderful Life, Double Indemnity, something else too 5.
I like this list. I have some new recs for 40s movies. Yippee!
Thanks again Hayden! You do great work here.

Thanks Mercury 
And yeah, there's tonnes of recs for me as well... I think I've added 40 or 50 to my watchlist 
I was surprised about the fact that it wasn't a runaway. The entire top 10 were pretty close.

Solid list, thanks Hayden.
I need to watch some Preston Sturges apparently.

Thanks Norman
Which reminds me, I'll do the director tally in a bit.

Turned out pretty good. Kinda sad Preston Sturges didn't make the top 50 although four total films is nothing to scoff at. Powell & Pressburger did surprisingly better, and although I'm shocked Stairway to Heaven was their top film it doesn't bother me a bit. I think the absolute weirdest thing was my #1 (The Third Man) didn't get into the top 10. Also a little disappointed that the Best Years of Our Lives didn't do better as I think it's easily the best American film of 1946. But altogether another great list, with two or three movies I need to see.

Brief Encounter as low as #30 was the first shock for me. Thought it and The Third Man would at least be top 10, if not top 5. Surprised also at It's A Wonderful Life not making the top 5, but also pleasantly surprised to see The Great Dictator and The Big Sleep at 3 and 4. Overall a decent list.
It was pretty apparent that Citizen Kane and Casablanca would be the top 2. I was hoping Casablanca would pull ahead. I'd be interested to know how close the two were, or if they were at all close.

I figured Brief Encounter would make the top 20 for sure... same with Fantasia actually. Interesting that they tied at 30.
Casablanca and Citizen Kane were pretty close. If someone submitted another list an excluded Citizen Kane on it, Casablanca could have easily won. Here are how many points the top 20 got:
Citizen Kane - 590
Casablanca - 568
The Great Dictator - 498
The Big Sleep - 492
Laura - 427
The Maltese Falcon - 425
Bicycle Thieves - 417
Notorious - 397
The Philadelphia Story - 394
It’s a Wonderful Life - 392
Double Indemnity - 392
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - 376
Rebecca - 375
The Magnificent Ambersons - 353
Late Spring - 334
The Third Man - 331
Beauty and The Beast - 320
A Matter of Life & Death - 319
Rope - 316
Rome, Open City - 308
