Very interesting. I plan to revisit BRIEF ENCOUNTER and CHILDREN OF PARADISE. MILDRED PIERCE is a favorite! On to 1946!
Onward and upward! Was glad to be done with this year, though there are some real greats too. Be sure to weigh in on Encounter and Paradise.
Will do!
Ah, yes, Brief Encounter, that is a given. I would place Mildred Pierce second I think. Rome, Open City also ranks high with me.
You did well, I am not sure I would have been able to get through so many mediocre film.
I know how you feel about Children of Paradise. That’s why it’s a list of my favorites and not “best” movies. I could hardly wait for the year to be over.
