    Another great list! I've only seen National Velvet (as a child) and Citizen Kane.

      Thanks! Don't worry: I haven't seen National Velvet yet. :)

    Great picks. Kane, Casablanca, Laura, Notorious and especially Out of the Past.

    No argument here!

    (sigh, I can't believe Out of the Past wasn't even nominated.)

    The 40's is the worst decade for me...I've seen like nothing! UGH, but this has my interest peaked to finally see some of these.

      I've still got many '40s films to watch, and even more '30s ones. Hope you enjoy some of these.

      That's one of my favorites. Grant and Bergman are terrific.

    Film editors are the unsung heroes of cinema. Too bad some films you think are worthy of an award didn't even get nominated here.

      Haha, I'm used to it. ;) At least one of them won the Oscar.
