I love "Rebecca" with Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Olivier. I know the lines to the script, I've seen it so much. My favorite character was the housekeeper.

Well, I know you said 1940, but the "Wizard Of Oz" was the ultimated - 1939 . What kid doesn't remember that? My family sat around on the floor right in front of the screen. We had black and white tv and swore we saw color!! That's the difference between childhood then, and childhood now! We were a true family!!!

"Jane Eyre" with Joan Fontaine and Orson Wells. I also really like "Rebecca". In fact, just about any movie with Joan Fontaine was good.

So many favorites already mentioned. I've always liked The Best Years of Our Lives, Double Indemnity, and Citizen Kane.

"It's A Wonderful Life" James Stewart and Donna Reed. It's a wonderful story. I own it, but I usually watch it the most at Christmas time. The love between young sweethearts, their struggles and failures. This movies shows how people do pull together during tragedy for a man who gives so much of himself for everyone else and asks for nothing in return.

I can't decide between Mrs. Miniver (1942) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), both directed by William Wyler.

"Casablanca". Especially the fact that a supporting actor (Claude Rains) got all of the good lines. But, I still don't understand why a female playing a French patriot sang a Portuguese song (a "fado") while playing her guitar.
