Best Films of 1948

Sort of disappointing, with its racial strangeness and Russell's bosom being the most interesting thing on screen half the time.

A pretty gutsy low-budget movie for the time with interesting characters

They also meet the Wolfman and Dracula. It's classic Abbott and Costello and just a good romp of fun.

A little older Shirley Temple is a weird sight, and actually one of her last films.

Either not as strong as Part 1 or I was tired of the story by midway through and all of the innovative film techniques and mastery wears off.

The Duke, in his element. It wasn't a wildly interesting story; but the scale and action was impressive.

Visconti's second film is a fulfilling Sicilian seaside adventure about money, family and one's passion.

Ice Cube has probably seen this film dozens of times, in researching for his role in "Are We Done Yet?"

A movie that wouldn't be nearly as interesting if Stewart weren't in the lead.

Director: John Huston
His 5th movie
My 7th movie watched from the director

Another Huston/Bogart classic! You could also call it another Bogart/Bacall classic... or another classic Edward G. Robinson as a gangster classic... it's true and all good. Took me too long to see it, but I plan to return someday...

This Orson Welles-directed classic boasts some great cinematography and one of my favorite Rita Hayworth roles.
