Description

My favourite films from 1940 to 1949. This is part 4/10 of the total 1000 favorite films project, which is constantly in progress. Though similarly structured, this list is more a diary on my journey through film history than for example "1001 movies to see before you die" or lists by individual film critics, which I don't pretend to be.

Director of each film is mentioned, further comments are coming up.

Other lists of this project:
1897 - 1919
1920 - 1929
1930 - 1939
1950 - 1959
1960 - 1969
1970 - 1979
1980 - 1989
1990 - 1999
2000 - 2009
