   Are 1940s movies worth watching?

   • Many 1940s movies dealt with the war and its aftermath, while others aimed to provide entertainment and distraction from everything going on.

   Was the 1940s a tumultuous decade in history?

   • The 1940s was a tumultuous decade in history, given that World War II began at the tail-end of the '30s and defined the first half of the '40s, not officially ending until 1945. Then, of course, came the years-long recovery from a global conflict that took millions of lives, so the second half of the decade was also shaped by war.

   • 'Casablanca' (1942) Director: Michael Curtiz. 1942 was a strong year for movies, sure, but nothing that came out that year could ever top Casablanca, which stands as quite possibly the very best film of the entire decade.
   • 'Bicycle Thieves' (1948) Director: Vittorio De Sica. The aforementioned Rome, Open City is one of the greatest Italian Neorealism films, but it’s arguably 1948’s Bicycle Thieves that stands as the absolute greatest Italian Neorealism film.
   • 'The Red Shoes' (1948) Directors: Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell. As many of the above images inevitably show, the 1940s was a decade where most movies were still filmed in black-and-white.
   • 'Citizen Kane' (1941) Director: Orson Welles. Citizen Kane has the kind of reputation that may set modern-day viewers up for disappointment. It’s known for often being touted as one of the greatest movies of all time, owing to its radical and groundbreaking technical accomplishments, its inventively told story, and the hugely compelling performances it features throughout.
