Topp 10 fra 1940


Da har jeg nådd slutten av de årlige listene. Dvs den kronologiske nedtellingen. Det gjenstår imidlertid noen fortsatt, feks den for 2010!

  1. His Girl Friday. Ble tidlig en av mine favoritter.
  2. The Sea Hawk. Aldeles strålende swashbuckler.
  3. The Thief of Bagdad. Powell før Pressburger. Eventyr!
  4. The Grapes of Wrath. Sterkt drama, vellykket adapsjon.
  5. Night Train to Munich. Underkjent og undervurdert.
  6. The Philadelphia Story. Cary Grant. Katharine Hepburn. James Stewart.
  7. The Shop Around the Corner. You’ve got mail!
  8. Christmas in July. Klassisk Preston Sturges (som virkelig var på en roll på denne tiden).
  9. The Mark of Zorro. Tyrone Power er den fødte Zorro.
  10. Foreign Correspondent. Hitch er på plass i USA, men er litt i London likevel.

Topp 10 fra 1941

  1. How Green Was My Valley. Varm skildring fra Fords hjemtrakter – satt til Wales.
  2. Sullivan’s Travels. Hjelp, vi er i filmbransjen!
  3. The Lady Eve. Stanwyck og Fonda i herlig farse.
  4. Ball of Fire. Snehvit og de syv dverger.
  5. Superman. Den første av Fleischerbrødrenes filmer for Paramount.
  6. The Maltese Falcon. Stilfull.
  7. Citizen Kane. Innovativ.
  8. They Died with Their Boots On. Glorifiserende.

Topp 10 fra 1942

  1. The Palm Beach Story. Min Preston Sturges-favoritt. Aldeles fantastisk.
  2. Donald’s Snow Fight. Jeg er nærmest vokst opp med denne.
  3. Casablanca. Ikke lenge siden jeg tok et gjensyn med denne, for mye bra til å trekke fram noe konkret.
  4. This Gun for Hire. Mmmm. Veronica Lake.
  5. Now, Voyager. «Mmmm. Bette Davis» faller litt dårligere på tungen, men spille kunne hun.
  6. Cat People. Skrekkfilm med kun hentydninger. Klasse.
  7. To Be or Not to Be. Deilig satire fra Lubitsch.
  8. Der Fuehrer’s Face. Deilig satire fra Disney.
  9. Bambi. Klassisk.
  10. The Major and the Minor. Wilders amerikanske debut er lovende.

Topp 10 fra 1943

  1. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Deborah Kerr’s three roles are magnificent acting.
  2. The Ox-Bow Incident. A rare nihilistic western.
  3. Vredens dag. Dreyer had a way with women.
  4. Five Graves to Cairo. Beautifully photographed and an underrated Wilder gem.
  5. Red Hot Riding Hood. If you can’t do this thing a new way, Bud, I quit!
  6. Heaven Can Wait. Hilarious take on the afterlife.
  7. Sugata Sanshirô. Tenno’s first.
  8. Watch on the Rhine. Family with a past. And less future.
  9. Shadow of a Doubt. A quite creepy Joseph Cotten.
  10. The Outlaw. There are two reasons for Jane Russells fame.
