Some of the best movies ever made - Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, to name a few. Other great movies of that period are Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz, The Third Man, Citizen Kane....

at 1940 there have been already several era's of movies made. Have a look at http://us.imdb.com/Sections/Years/1940/
Have a look around at this website and you can find many things about times you never knew before.
Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, Eisenstein. A few names that made history even before 1940

Film Noirs were popular, gangster films in which James Cagney was the best back then.. in my opinion.. try some of his films :)
ooh also "Lady Eve" which was 1941.... its a comedy.. a GREAT comedy very modernish too... Henry Fonda is the main character, Barbara Stanwyck....
trust me ull enjoy it... :)

Movies with good plots, great dialogue, suspense & thrills based on what wasn't there, rather than the glut of special effects movies of late.
