I've never heard of it before - I'll have to investigate. Speaking of film noirs, have you seen Zinnemann's Act of Violence?    Posted:   Nov 23, 2013 - 4:00 PM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) PS: Have you watched a little Cold War thriller entitled "The Iron Curtain" by William Wellman? I've never heard of it before - I'll have to investigate. Speaking of film noirs, have you seen Zinnemann's Act of Violence? Yes, I have. Furthermore, 1948 is a great year for John Huston and John Ford. My favorite western ("Yellow Sky") is done like a Film Noir taking place in a ghost town filled with sand.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2013 - 5:46 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) Notes A fantastic year, especially when it comes to Film Noir: see "The Big Clock" "Call Northside 777" "Cry of the City" "Force of Evil" "He Walked by Night" "I Walk Alone" "Raw Deal" "Road House" "Sorry, Wrong Number" "The Street with No Name" "They Live by Night" PS: Have you watched a little Cold War thriller entitled "The Iron Curtain" by William Wellman? Absolutely a fantastic year for Noir - I had to restrain myself from putting them all in. I would have included ROAD HOUSE had I recalled it. I'm not familiar with IRON CURTAIN, but I hope to be soon! Thanks, Member.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2013 - 6:06 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) As we will see, the 1940s excelled in classic noir - plus great Powell/Pressburger films.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2013 - 9:13 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) As we will see, the 1940s excelled in classic noir - plus great Powell/Pressburger films. I have to say I think the 40s may be my favorite decade for film, Mark. Prepare for lengthy lists.    Posted:   Nov 23, 2013 - 10:00 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) As we will see, the 1940s excelled in classic noir - plus great Powell/Pressburger films.

They will give me suggestions for my increasingly skimpy lists!    Posted:   Nov 24, 2013 - 3:19 AM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) A scene from "Force of Evil": The final sewer chase scene from "He Walked by Night":    Posted:   Nov 24, 2013 - 5:35 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) So many great films from this year to choose from so I'll just mention my favourite film of 1948, The Treasure of The Sierra Madre. Best score ( easily and by far ) goes to Ralph Vaughan Williams sublime Scott of The Antarctic.    Posted:   Nov 24, 2013 - 6:14 AM     By:   Ray Faiola   (Member) 1948? 1948??

ABSOLUTELY AGREE with that Top ten - totally!!!    Posted:   Nov 27, 2013 - 12:31 AM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) ABSOLUTELY AGREE with that Top ten - totally!!! You have good taste. lol! I hope you can add your thoughts to our other "Best/Favorite Films" lists which currently span 1946-2004 and will be continuing in both directions.    Posted:   Feb 8, 2014 - 8:46 AM     By:   Angelillo   (Member) My 5 favourite films of 1948, not including the obvious out-of-competition status for Polonsky's FORCE OF EVIL and Dieterle's PORTRAIT OF JENNIE...and Welles' MACBETH... ...are : 3 GODFATHERS L'ARMOIRE VOLANTE BERLIN EXPRESS LA DAME D'ONZE HEURES THE THREE MUSKETEERS    Posted:   Feb 8, 2014 - 8:57 AM     By:   Angelillo   (Member) 1948 features two of the most original french movies ever made : Jean Devaivre's LA DAME D'ONZE HEURES : Carlo Rim's L'ARMOIRE VOLANTE :    Posted:   Feb 8, 2014 - 11:49 AM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) My 5 favourite films of 1948, not including the obvious out-of-competition status for Polonsky's FORCE OF EVIL and Dieterle's PORTRAIT OF JENNIE...and Welles' MACBETH , are : 3 GODFATHERS L'ARMOIRE VOLANTE BERLIN EXPRESS LA DAME D'ONZE HEURES THE THREE MUSKETEERS What? No "The Red Shoes"? (Powell and Pressburger absolutely rule English-language cinema of the 1940s, as is apparent from my lists!)    Posted:   Feb 8, 2014 - 12:28 PM     By:   Angelillo   (Member) What? No "The Red Shoes"? (Powell and Pressburger absolutely rule English-language cinema of the 1940s, as is apparent from my lists!) Actually not a huge fan of this movie. I prefer other Archer ones by a long shot and many of these feature my lists ! THE RED SHOES, for me, is "only" a nice movie, with an outstanding morceau-de-bravoure and a great score. And, of course, Moira Shearer is absolutely gorgeous. But I don't find the plot original at all when compared to all those other incredible and crazy stories penned by this magic duo !    Posted:   Feb 8, 2014 - 12:55 PM     By:   Viscount Bark   (Member) THE RED SHOES, for me, is "only" a nice movie, with an outstanding morceau-de-bravoure and a great score.

First, let me look up the translation for morceau-de-bravoure, lol. Oh yes, quite! I think I would still rank this in "The Archers" top 3 for the lush cinematography and production design alone.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Best/Favorite Films of 1948    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
