How did “The Best Years of Our Lives” not make it on the list?
From Wikipedia:
The film was a critical and commercial success. It won seven Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director (William Wyler), Best Actor (Fredric March), Best Supporting Actor (Harold Russell), Best Film Editing (Daniel Mandell), Best Adapted Screenplay (Robert E. Sherwood), and Best Original Score (Hugo Friedhofer).
In addition, Russell was also awarded an honorary Academy Award, the only time in history that two such awards were given for a single performance.
It was the highest-grossing film in both the United States and United Kingdom since the release of Gone with the Wind, and is the sixth most-attended film of all time in the United Kingdom, with over 20 million tickets sold.
The Cruel Sea, 1953 starring Jack Hawkins
The Verdict, starring Paul Newman
Notorious, starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.
We could go on and on - but this list was hit by a woke bomb and is useless.
Agree with Best Years of Our Lives. And if you liked that another WWII film somewhat along the same lines is Since You Went Away. A tear jerker but good tears in the end. Now that I think of it Mrs. Miniver is excellent also.
Yes, this is more like it. Most of the ones on that list I wouldn’t watch if you paid me.
That is absolutely my favorite move of all time, “The Best Years of Our Lives”.
Just a brilliant and timely movie. And timeless, too. The themes are the same today as they were in 1946. Vastly underrated by people today.
