Looking CloserHere is the current (but occasionally updated) list of my favorite films from the 1940s. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about this decade. But give me a break, I was born in 1970 and didn’t start exploring movies much until I was in college.
In order to understand the purpose and meaning of this list, please read my introduction to the Looking Closer Favorite Films lists here.
