It’s been a while since we did a decade for #MTOS, and this one has been sat on the backburner for what feels like 80 years now 😉
Anyway, the ever resourceful @Dennis_Obi supplied this set of questions a while back, so let’s get around to talking about the golden years of Hollywood this Sunday 6th March at 8pm UK Time over on Twitter. All are welcome to join, and share opinions. Just remember to use the #MTOS
Q1: The 1940s are packed with, well, a decade of classic films! But what are your top three films of the 1940s? #MTOS
Q2: Iconic performers and classic screen legends – but who were your favourite stars of the silver screen in the 1940s? #MTOS
Q3: Is there any one director that you would say had the biggest influence on the movies during the 1940s? What was it they brought? #MTOS
Q4: Citizen Kane is highly regarded by many, but lost at the Oscars to How Green Was My Valley. Was this the right choice, or should Kane have won? #MTOS
Q5: Were there any films that were ahead of their time in the 40s – storytelling, themes, production values? What stood out the most and still stands up today? #MTOS
Q6: Any unrecognised gems of the 1940s? Films that you feel have been forgotten? #MTOS
Q7: Are there any much spoken about classics of the 1940s that you have still not gotten around to watching? #MTOS
Q8: Who was your favourite classic couple on the big screen in the 40s? #MTOS
Q9: A lot of B-Movie horror classics came out of the 1940s. Any that resonate with you? #MTOS
