    I love this series! All great picks and so glad you included "The More the Merrier." One of my favorites and also how I have been feeling today haha

    Great list. All ten great films (two of which I concur on their no. 1 status - most I would still include in my top tens for these years). Red Shoes (OF COURSE) is the greatest film ever made, so glad to see that in there.

    My personal choices are:
    1940-Philadelphia Story
    1941-Citizen Kane
    1942-Casablanca
    1943-Life & Death of Colonel Blimp
    1944-Meet Me in St. Louis
    1945-Leave Her to Heaven
    1946-The Big Sleep
    1947-Black Narcissus
    1948-The Red Shoes
    1949-The Third Man

    I guess I like Powell/Pressburger, huh?

    Again, very fine list. Cannot wait to see the 1950's (aka, my favourite decade in cinema).
