Ozzy Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 The Grapes of Wrath Gone with the WindThe Bicycle ThiefKey Largo The Grapes of Wrath should win this easily no question about it, but probably will not even get nominated based on the 1950s results.

Bucketheadsdad Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Mr. Smith Goes to Washington All the King's Men Broderick Crawford is fantastic in ths film. Mercedes McCambridge is fantastic as well. Such a unique voice. Casablanca Wow, just wow. Sorry, Wrong Number Love Barbara Stanwyck. White Heat Cageny was fantastic. I've watched Citizen Kane a couple of times, and yeah, it is a great film, but it really doesn't ring my bell. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is my all time favorite film. Period. Not favorite of an era. Not favorite of a specific actor/actress. Favorite film. Period. If you've not seen it, I highly recommend it. You can find it on the archive.org site for free. I've seen it well over 100 times (I kid you not), and it still gives me goosebumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 ^Yep, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is the only drama from this period I ever loved. I'll only nominate that one. I'll fight for it to win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different storyline. Mr. Smith deals with government issues. Interestingly enough, Frank Capra wanted Gary Cooper to play the Jefferson Smith role, but Jimmy Stewart is fantastic.

Ozzy Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Seems like a lot of people are like Miss Hoover in The Simpsons when it comes to The Grapes of Wrath. The movie is absolutely outstanding! Edited July 5, 2020 by Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
