I'd like to add these as well:

Destry Rides Again
Gunga Din

I like your additions. Can't believe I left them off my list!


Let me also add Another Thin Man, the third in the series and my personal favorite of the six films in the series.

1940... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940_in_film I'm really enjoying these old film posters....Wish they'd use more of these for the blu-ray covers.

 

[Martin Teller]

No time at the moment to dig up poster art, but... The Shop Around the Corner Stranger on the Third Floor

 

[Frank Ha]

There quite a few movies I'd like on Blu from 1940 (like The Shop Around the Corner), but the absolute musts are: Philadelphia Story The Westerner - This one of my favorite westerns, although I haven't watch it in quite awhile. Now,I'll have to watch my DVD again The Mark of Zorro The Sea Hawk His Girl Friday

 

[Jim_K]

1940 - two of my all-time favorite swashbucklers to start things off with

 

[John Hodson]

1939 - a pretty good year for movies so they say

I've recently seen HD broadcasts of Jesse James and The Return of Frank James which were very nice indeed; however the 1080i TV transfers of Beau Geste and Drums Along The Mohawk were absolutely breathtaking, incredible.

 

[Martin Teller]

1941 My top two for the year -- Citizen Kane and Maltese Falcon -- are already released. I would consider buying Man Hunt or The Lady Eve, though neither is a must-have for me. I might rent Hellzapoppin' just to experience the insanity again. Nothing else is jumping out at me. As we get deeper into the noir cycle, I'm going to have a lot more wishlist titles.

Where did you see these?

1942 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942_in_film It may be a bit silly, but I'm a sucker for Random Harvest...Reap is great Demille cornball fun...

 

[John Hodson]

Where did you see these?

UK; Film4HD, Sky Movies Classics HD.

 

[Martin Teller]

Oh are we jumping to 1942 already? That's another slim year for me. The Magnificent Ambersons would be great, but since it just got released as a DVD-only extra in a Citizen Kane BR package, it seems unlikely anytime soon. Nothing else I would buy.

 

[Rob_Ray]

For 1942, I'd pick: Random Harvest Mrs. Miniver Yankee Doodle Dandy The Magnificent Ambersons Roxie Hart The Palm Beach Story The Road to Morocco
