Foreign Films from the 30s-49??

[Marlowe P.]

I've seen my share but looking for everyone's favorites or recommendations...

Well, for me, any film with Jean Gabin, especially La Grande Illusion (1937) and Quai des Brumes (1939), a movie that has one of best love scenes in cinema, in my opinion.

I'm looking forward to any suggestions from others, too!!

One of my favorites is Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di biciclette (1948)) Directed by Vittorio DiSica. One of the best I've ever seen and beautifully presented/restored by Criterion collection with lots of extras. Also I'll second Grand Illusion.

Kurosawa's Stray Dog.

 

[Doctor Strange]
