Here's a rather long list of Best Films that *I'm certain* most of us have seen and love and own in our collections:"Wings" (1928)
"Cimarron" (1931)
"Cavalcade" (1933)
"The Great Ziegfeld" (1936)
"The Life of Emile Zola" (1937)
"You Can't Take it With You" (1938)
"Rebecca" (1940)
"Mrs. Miniver" (1942)
"Gentleman's Agreement" (1947)
"Going My Way" (1944)
"All About Eve" (1950)
"An American in Paris" (1951)
"The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952)
"Marty" (1955)
"Around the World in 80 Days" (1956)
"Gigi" (1958)
"Tom Jones" (1963)
"A Man for All Seasons" (1966)
"Oliver!" (1968)
"Kramer Vs. Kramer" (1979)
"Ordinary People" (1980)It would be churlish to suggest that these were not, indeed, the glory years of Hollywood. Clearly it's been all downhill since.
