Too low for the Wyler - FAR too low - but I'm glad it got this high, if I'm realistic

Gaslight '44 making the Top 50 but the better Gaslight '40 nowhere to be found  forgot there is the '40. If a ballot wasn't differentiated by year I defaulted to this. Hopefully that wasn't the case  I'd be surprised if it got any votes tbh , it's a bit of a forgotten film - with a great trivia, when MGM bought remake rights they villainously stipulated that all of its negatives be destroyed! (They failed.) |

Ah, The Big Sleep. Not really a fan, but it does have one of cinema's greatest insults: "She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up."  |

OOOOOOFFFF, I expected far higher for His Girl Friday. Cynical comedy at its finest. I thought it was top 25 for certain.

Great seeing The Wolf Man make it as far as it did. I know they're a bit niche so I'm just happy to see them make it at all. Loving all the noirs listed so far.
