But hey, it’s fine if you choose to forget all over again that Spencer Tracy actually starred in Dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde, but I guess that’s just your thing, isn't it?🙂

"The Great Dictator" and "Pinocchio" are joined by a few others I really enjoy, but those two are definitely my favorites. Especially "Pinocchio" 😍

The Rock, The Maltese Falcon, The Third Man, Treasures of the Sierra Madre, It's a Wonderful Life, Casablanca... It is a rather sobering realization that I have managed to include three films starring Humphrey Bogart in this list.😁

Whenever I think about movies from the 40s, that one line always pops into my head. For me, White Heat is easily one of the greatest films ever made in that decade. It’s an absolute masterpiece, but can we talk about how incredible James Cagney was in it? He was just on another level.

Just picked up Citizen Kane, and I'm definitely eyeing The Third Man next. Already watched Casablanca too.

I think out of all those titles, I've only actually sat through Citizen Kane and It's a Wonderful Life.
Honestly, It's a Wonderful Life is the absolute best movie ever made🙏🙏
Citizen Kane is great too, but you know, more for that dry, intellectual vibe.🙂

Honestly, Casablanca easily beats Fantasia, but play that Sam and Ave Maria track again... mmmmmmm, absolutely incredible.
