There were plenty of shit movies during that time period. They've just been forgotten. Whereas everyone remembers and recognizes the classics, which are classics for a reason. (Some more deserving than others, though.) | |||

Pretty much all of those already identified. Wife and I also like the 1951 version of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” (it was released into theaters about 1 month after my birth). I’ve been in that very same “Walter Reed Army Hospital” building (it was the Administration building at that time I was there) that is depicted in the movie; kinda made it more personal that way too. --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

God, one can name a hundred really good films from that 4 decade period. I'll just limit it to the 40s: Citizen Kane The Magnificent Ambersons Double Indemnity His Girl Friday Casablanca The Third Man Red River The Treasure of the Sierra Madre ..and even more.

"In a lonely place".. Bogart and Gloria Graham. "Sunset Boulevard"...Gloria Swanson and William Holden. "Double Indemnity"...Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck. Plus, any of the Precode movies of the early '30's directed by William Wellman. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Anjanette Comer was ethereal in "The Loved One"! Here's a couple more: "Red River" (1948) and "No Way To Treat a Lady" (1968). ------------------------------------------------------------ "I have resolved to fight as long as Marse Robert has a corporal's guard, or until he says give up.

A lot of great classic movies already mentioned. If you/your wife like courtroom/law dramas you should try these: Witness for the Prosecution Anatomy of a Murder You can thank me later. Icarus flew too close to the sun, but at least he flew. | |||

Has The Court Jester been mentioned yet? I know it's a silly movie, but it's one of those memorable ones that I used to watch with my mom. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.
