First Man

Whiplash

Babylon

Cabin In The Sky

Ay you wont see me arguing with that

Gosling been my boy since I grew up watching this (like a Canadian Saved By The Bell)

I remember being shocked around the time of Half Nelson when people were mentioning in hushed whispers about this new amazing talent, Ryan Gosling

but yeah First Man one of the few times I was indifferent to his stuff.

watching Meet Me In St.Louis

william faulkner writing on ernest hemingway

saw this in film school as a lass. 7/10.

what would a year in the 40s be without a goofy ass roy rogers western

was worried their were no good horror features this year, this dandy lil number from universal came in clutch

you're back

another Laughton slapper dude doesnt miss. really tender and low-key performance for a character so racked with anger/paranoia.

Clossic

Tootie and Agnes

"Oh Rose, you're so stuck up"

is there a watchlist for 1944 stuff yall got cause i been meaning to get on that old cinema anyways

This is a cool one from 1944

Gaslight

Not really but you should check out Ivan The Terrible also To Have And To Have Not

If you need a resource just look up the year 1944 on Letterboxd and rank by highest rated

Tootsie was priceless. That Halloween segment

Looked like something from like 1960, not 1944

Yeah it always stuns me how good that film looks, def an outlier of its time.

And yeah that halloween s*** is such a crucial little detour

The earlier version with Anton Wolbrook was wild as well

best movie of the year

gonna peep later tn

OP what do you estimate the time will take to get to current year

It will never happen lol I did the math and at this rate I'll be 80 by the time I get to the 90's

How'd that go

Tall In The Saddle was great

One of the few good Wayne westerns between Stagecoach and his big 1948 Fort Apache/Red River/3 Godfathers comeback
