The 1940s brought us two highly influencial films which have remained the only two to-date to top Sight & Sound's poll as the #1 film of all-time: Citizen Kane (1941) and Bicycle Thieves (1948). In between we had the war years, and the birth of film noir. And it was the decade of Bogie & Bacall, Tracy & Hepburn, and Abbott & Costello, too.Here's the 1940s films that have managed to elude me so far, but they're on my radar:
My Little Chickadee- 1940
The Sea Hawk- 1940
Blossoms in the Dust- 1941
The 49th Parallel/The Invaders- 1941
Day of Wrath- 1943
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man- 1943
House of Frankenstein- 1944
The House on 92nd Street- 1945
Crossfire- 1947
That Lady in Ermine- 1948

This top ten list is fantastic. I'm not familiar with 40's cinema, but some of these look really interesting. Thank goodness for Netflix, thanks for the recommendations. You can post this to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/ and link back to your site. We are trying to create a directory for top ten lists where people can find your site. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
