Don’t Look Now - great film. Read the short story recently as well. It was in the same collection as The Birds.

Just because it's a true story, 'The Infiltrator' is a fecking amazing film.

The only movies from the 40s I'm going to view in full are as follows:

Rebecca 1940
The great dictator 1940
Brief encounter 1945
It’s a wonderful life 1946
Monsieur Verdoux 1947
Bicycle thieves 1948
Key Largo 1948
Red shoes 1948
Rope 1948
The third man 1949
Kind Hearts and Coronets 1949

Have already watched Rebecca and if it's not the best movie of the decade I'll be very surprised.

There's something very eerie about watching a movie where you know every single person who was involved with it is now dead.

3. Brief Encounter (37)
2. The Bicycle Thieves (27)

Also a Daphne Du Maurier adaptation, like The Birds and Don’t Look Now?

Seen four from that list, I think.
