The 10 Best Movies Set in the 1940s, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Leading out from the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression, the 1940s started deep in the trenches of World War II. As such, most movies set in the 1940s are World War II movies—but we aren't going to touch on those in this article. We already have a separate article all about the best WW2 movies of all time! Truth is, not everybody was fighting, plotting, or nursing through the 1940s. For many people, the global war was little more than TV static humming in the background as they lived their everyday lives. Here are our picks for the best movies set in the 1940s that highlight the decade but aren't about World War II." - whatnerd.com
