Ignatius Meany's Must Watch Classic Movies (1920s-1950s)

"They don't make them like they used to" as my mother would say. Well, great movies are still made, but in my 20s I decided to watch a few of the classics and I got hooked. These are my favourite classic movies, which I consider spans the four decades of the 1920s to the 1950s. A new, exciting era then began, but these movies are foundational for all true cinephiles.
