We discovered Nightmare Alley a while back. Tyrone Power as a geek? But wow--riveting. Same story with Black Narcissus. I did not know the backdrops were paintings. What a mood they set. Quite memorable. We'll definitely check out Odd Man Out. Most of these can be streamed for free.
Great video! I've been meaning to watch Black Narcissus and Odd Man Out for ages now, but I still haven't gotten to it. Both look absolutely stunning. I also want to watch It Always Rains On Sunday now! Looks great! For 1948, I recommend what I call the holy 10/10 trio of 1948: The Red Shoes, The Treasure Of Sierra Madre and Bicycle Thieves. I also recommend Rope, Red River, Germany Year Zero, Drunken Angel, Letter From An Unknown Woman, Olivier's Hamlet, and the very much under-seen Spring In A Small Town. Consider giving Key Largo, Visconti's La Terra Trema, Ford's Fort Apache, Dassin's The Naked City, Lean's Oliver Twist and Welles' Macbeth a shot too. Forgive me for how many recommendations I just gave, it's just that 1948 was a darn great year! It felt wrong leaving a lot of these films out of my recommendations lmao Anyways, great video and cheers to that!
Great choices! 1947 was such a good year for films. Some other favorites of mine are Born to Kill by Robert Wise Brute Force by Jules Dassin Crossfire by Edward Dmytryk The Devil Thumbs a Ride by Felix Feist (my favorite title ever) A Double Life by George Cukor Gentleman's Agreement by Elia Kazan Johnny O'Clock by Robert Rossen Kiss of Death by Henry Hathaway Lured by Douglas Sirk Miracle On 34th Street by George Seaton Nora Prentiss by Vincent Sherman Possessed by Curtis Bernhardt Pursued by Raoul Walsh The Red House by Delmer Daves Repeat Performance by Alfred Werker Ride the Pink Horse by Robert Montgomery Smash-Up by Stuart Heisler T-Men by Anthony Mann They Won't Believe Me by Irving Pichel The Unfaithful by Vincent Sherman The Unsuspected by Michael Curtiz Wow. So many greats. I don't think I could make a top ten. Number 1 for me is Out Of The Past.
@@harrihaffi2713 My top 3 would be Out Of The Past Nightmare Alley Crossfire I do applaud my mans choice of number 1. Odd Man Out is a great film and James Mason was superb in almost everything he was in. Great voice also.
Top 10 of 1947, probably the weakest year of the decade 10. A Double Liffe 9. Gentlemen's Agreement 8. The Ghost and Mrs Muir 7. Kiss of Death 6. Record of A Tenement Gentleman 5. Monsieur Verdoux 4. The Lady From Shanghai 3. Odd Man Out 2. Out of The Past NUMBER ONE: BLACK NARCISSUS - another masterpiece from the writer/directors of the decade
