That reminds me, I must check out The Women.

I presume your #6 film in the 40s is Rome, Open City?

I've seen maybe 10 movies from the 1930's. I assume you just forgot Gone With the Wind, because I don't think you hate it.
Tenet: Criterion Edition. Now with more Backwards Man.

Never could get into it. I find the film overlong and boring. I respect people who love it but I honestly don't give a damn about Gone With The Wind.
