- These are my 15 favourite films released in the 1940's (based upon the films I've seen so far).
Thanks to @aszeke5634 for his help with this one.
Thanks to @leocoh89 for his inspiration and shout-out.
This is not a list of the BEST films of the decade. If a film is not included, it is because I haven't seen it or it is not one of my absolute favourites.
I hope we share some favourites or this inspires discovery of a new favourite.
The clips used here are for criticism and commentary within the bounds of fair use. This is a transformative effort with different expression (commentary and positive criticism) and different in character relative to the original works. The amount and substantiality of the portions used in relation to the work as a whole is a minimum necessary. These clips avoid story spoilers and inclusion here does not negatively affect the market value of any of these works. This video is not for profit. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

Thanks George. Loads there that I like. Did you have the list already to hand?
@@steve4films Yes, I keep a database of all the films that I've ever seen and what I thought of them.
@@georgebailey98 Clever. It should do that; it would save so much time when I’m trying to compile a video. Thanks again for watching and commenting. 🙏
@@steve4films That's what LEtterboxd is good for ;) My list was also clsoe to hand.
Ooh, I haven't heard of the 1940s Zorro. Ox-Bow is underrated.
The Small Back Room - yay! And BN at No 1 - great stuff!
Thanks Mike. David Farrar and Kathleen Byron all the way! 👍 I thought you were going to pick me up for not including Late Spring and I even rewatched it this week, but frustratingly, Ozu just doesn’t click for me. Feel free to unsubscribe 😂
@@steve4films Never! I love your lists! Actually, I was feeling guilty that I wouldn't include Bicycle Thieves. That's a film I've never clicked with, and I just don't know why.
Great list as always. Anyone who says modern films are better just needs to watch your video sir.
...or your recommendations. Thanks Ronin. Love great movies, whenever they were made.
My favorite decade!!!! for so many things. Music, movies, WWII Greatest Generation, and so on...
I've got so many of these on my watchlist already. Canterbury Tale and Bitter Rice in particular. Don't like The Third Man as much as most. I've seen Out of the Past. I am not a usual noir guy. In fact it's one of my least favorite genres. But I'd put that as one of my favorites. His Girl Friday is okay. Not my favorite screwball though.. Children of Paradise is great.Great Expectations is a great Lean film. Jean Simmons is great but I didn't like the older actress they chose for her older version. Bicycle Thieves is definitely one of my top five.
In no particular order, here are mine:
Air Force (1943)
Bicycle Thieves (1948)
Notorious (1946)
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
Remember the Night (1940)
In Which We Serve (1942)
I Married A Witch (1942)
Waterloo Bridge (1940)
The 49th Parallel (1941)
The Heiress (1949)
Bambi (1943)
Battleground (1949)
Meet John Doe (1941)
Shadow of a Doubt (1943)
The Shop Around the Corner (1940)
It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
Yellow Sky (1948)
The Lady Eve (1941)
Penny Serenade (1941)
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943)
Nice list, AC. There's quite a few I haven't seen. At least we share 1 favourite - Bicycle Thieves.
@@steve4films A lot of them are WWII era films about WWII. You'll find out very quickly that I am a fanboy for those. Hahaha.

Air Force (1943)
The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)
Waterloo Bridge (1940)
