peludo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 In my opinion, the best movie not only of 40s, but of the history, is Casablanca, but I also love To have and have not, Fantasia, To be or not to be, The third man, Citizen Kane, Gilda, The great dictator or Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I gotta see myself some Powell & Pressburger. And some more noirs. There's so much great noir from the 40s. Looking at my list there are some I forgot like The Postman Always Rings Twice, Murder My Sweet & The Lady from Shanghai. Even the lesser stuff like Kiss The Blood Off My Hands (my favorite noir title), and The Blue Dalia are worth watching. For Powell & Pressburger - The Red Shoes and Black Narcissus are not to be missed. Aside from the storytelling which is gripping and brilliant their use of color is unsurpassed. There simply aren't more beautiful looking films. Scorsese on The Red Shoes http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/martin-scorsese-the-movie-that-plays-in-my-heart-1685003.html Excerpt: There is something about the use of colour and the impact of the movement in the frame. It is to do with the high drama, even melodrama, within the lives of the characters and how seriously they took what they were doing. It was also their actual journey in creating something and the difficulty they faced. You could really feel the work that was being done by these dancers and by Lermontov and by the Marius Goring character (the young composer.) It made it very visceral. The colour, the way the film was photographed by the great Jack Cardiff, stayed in my mind for years. The film would be shown every Christmas on American television in black and white, but it didn't matter – we watched it. Even though it was in black and white on TV, we saw it in colour. We knew the colour. We still felt the passion – I used to call it brush-strokes – in the way Michael Powell used the camera in that film. Also, the ballet sequence itself was like an encyclopedia of the history of cinema. They used every possible means of expression, going back to the earliest of silent cinema. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
