1947: Movies Sorted By Tier

Tags: 
  • Great

  • Black Narcissus
  • The Ghost And Mrs. Muir
  • **Ultra-romantic love story about a recently widowed woman who falls for a gruff, dead sea captain. Rex Harrison gives his finest performance (then again he usually gave the same performance in just about every film) and Gene Tierney is at her most luminescent. A heart-warming, witty film that perfectly captures the subtleties of love in a simple story-line. A film best experienced by curling up with your significant other on a quiet romantic evening together.
  • Monsieur Verdoux
  • Out Of The Past
  • Very Good

  • Life With Father
  • Odd Man Out
  • Good

  • The Bishop’s Wife
  • Body And Soul
  • Dark Passage
  • Germany, Year Zero
  • **Depressing neo-realism story of a young boy's life in a destroyed Germany directly following the war. Rosselini is a master of understated melodrama and this film is no exception, every scene is pulsing with mirth, betrayal and sorrow. Yet the film follows a depressing vertical slide that it was impossible to follow. Leading directly to a morbid ending that undoes much of the mistique the fine first hour had built.
  • P.S. Have your remote handy since this movie is laden with Germanic fast-talkers and a similar minded sub-title technician.
