Forgotten Films From the Classic Era

By: Acerk21

There are only a handful of Classic films that have been remembered throughout the decades by the general public. Films like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz and It’s a Wonderful Life have made their way into popular culture and will most likely forever be immortalized. That’s great, but what about all the other brilliant classic films that didn’t have the good fortune of being remembered for whatever reason? The purpose of this list is to introduce or reintroduce the classic films that in my opinion have been unjustly forgotten.

Please note that this ranked list is limited to films from Hollywood and the UK during the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.

There’s still so many classics that I haven’t been privileged to see so this will be an expanding list.

Special thanks to TCM, without whom none of this would be possible!

can you please add Personal Property to this list? Jean Harlow's penultimate film and so so good.

    Thx for the suggestion! Haven't seen 'Personal Property' yet, but I love Jean Harlow, so I'll definitely try to watch it. Pls feel free to leave other recommendations.
