Twenty movies down; sixty-nine to go! I’ve decided that every 10 weeks/10 movies, I will post an updated list of my rankings of the Best Pictures, just so anyone who so desires can squabble about it. Before anyone harasses me too much, though, let me just say that sometimes I really sit and agonize over what ranking to give a film–like the one I just watched tonight, Gentleman’s Agreement (Weekday Warm-up for that will be up tomorrow, I hope!)–so as the films percolate in my brain, they might slide up or down in the rankings! Talk about indecision! Without further ado, here’s my current list:
- Gone with the Wind
- You Can’t Take It with You
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- The Best Years of Our Lives
- Casablanca
- It Happened One Night
- Rebecca
- Mrs. Miniver
- Mutiny on the Bounty
- The Great Ziegfeld
- How Green Was My Valley
- Going My Way
- The Life of Emile Zola
- Cavalcade
- Wings
- The Lost Weekend
- Gentleman’s Agreement
- Cimarron
- The Broadway Melody
- Grand Hotel
Please feel free to leave feedback and/or include your own rankings list in the comment box below! Thanks!
