I LOVE movies and see almost every film I can.
However, the films that interest me most are those that were made
between 1920 and 1960 during the era of the Studio System in Hollywood.
After seeing most films from this period, I have definite likes
and dislikes. The following is a list of my "Top Ten
Favorite Movies". I'm not implying that they are
the best films of all time; just those that I'm especially fond
of. I've created a separate page devoted to each film with lots
of photos, links, sounds and information. To visit them, just click
on the links below. Also, I have sites devoted to many of the stars
of these films. I have added links on each page and placed a next
to the link. I hope you will visit them.
My Top Ten Films (in order of preference):
- The
Best Years of Our Lives, 1946
- Wuthering
Heights, 1939
- The Heiress, 1949
- Orphée, 1949
- Lawrence of Arabia, 1962
- A Tale of Two Cities, 1935
- The Seventh Veil, 1946
- Little Women, 1933
- Rebecca, 1940
- Citizen Kane, 1941

this period that just didn't make it to the top ten list. Some
