1939

Flickchart does these every now and again, and I’ve skipped the last few but as noted 1939 is one of THOSE years.

MY list:

3882 Beau Geste 1939 William A. Wellman NR 163 I have no reson for why this is so high, aside from my appreciation of Gene Wilder’s remake!
10723 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 1939 Richard Thorpe NR 222Childhood memories keeps this one so high on the list.  My introduction to Twain.  And I loved the book all the more for having watched it.
1831 Gunga Din 1939 George Stevens NR 269Oh c’mon!
2566 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes 1939 Alfred L. Werker NR 305Another childhood introdution memory
6060 Gulliver’s Travels 1939 Dave Fleischer NR 444 CLASSIC  version of the tale.  A must see, imho.
2070 Goodbye, Mr. Chips 1939 Sam Wood NR 493  Poignant
I’ve seen everything on their list.  Best movie from ’39 I’ve NOT seen?
