Sorry, I haven't chimed in here yet. We are allowing shorts in some cases, and Steamboat Willie is definitely one of those cases.

1. The Passion of Joan of Arc: One of the greatest silent films of all-time and a landmark for screen acting. 2. Steamboat Willie: That mouse is pretty damn endearing. 3. Steamboat Bill Jr.: Inspired Steamboat Willie and is generally considered one of Keaton's final classics. 4. The Crowd: Now considered one of the greatest films of the silent era. 5. The Man Who Laughs: Inspired the Joker and was one of the final silent German expressionist films. Okay, it sounds like a consensus with these 5. Next year: 1947 |

1. Out of the Past: Classic noir. One of the most acclaimed.
2. Black Narcissus: Another famous Archer Technicolor extravaganza, which also is pretty bold in terms of eroticism and colonial issues.
3. Miracle on 34th Street: Many times remade and beloved Christmas classic. It's not exactly the coolest film and it isn't one I have much affinity for, but it does have a legacy.
4. Gentleman's Agreement: Likely influenced the influx of "issue" movies from 1950s Hollywood. The film's depiction of anti-Semitism was considered really bold for the time and the film was a huge critical and financial hit.
5. The Lady from Shanghai: Definitely lesser Orson Welles, but the film has been critically reassessed and is now considered a classic. The climax has also probably been riffed on a few times.
Yeah, not the greatest of years.

Out of the Past Black Narcissus Odd Man Out The Lady from Shanghai Miracle on 34th Street Not the greatest or most interesting year. Those five sound good, maybe switch out Miracle for Lean's Great Expectations. |

Granted, it seems like it wasn't widely seen in 47 so I'm not sure. |

At the same time, I fee like Miracle might have had the greater influence. |

Great Expectations is 1946 or I would've included it.

Can you tell us about it? It was made by Carol Reed shortly before making The Third Man and dealt rather boldly with the troubles in Ireland. It has a great noir style, an influential setup, and has been cited as a favorite by Roman Polanski. |

Alright, you've convinced me, I'll put my vote behind it which bums it to the 5th spot.
Next year: 1961

Yeah, Gentleman's Agreement is not nearly as daring or important as its premise suggests. Not a bad movie, but Odd Man Out is definitely superior.
Viridiana
Jules and Jim
Last Year at Marienbad
West Side Story
Yojimbo
Strong year overall. Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Hustler, The Innocents, Chronicle of a Summer, and Cleo from 5 to 7 all have cases to be made for them as well.

1. Yojimbo: Created the "man with no name" myth, strongly influenced Sergio Leone's Westerns (obviously), and played a huge role in establishing the modern badass action hero.
2. The Hustler: An undisputed classic.
3. West Side Story: One of the most famous and highly acclaimed musicals of all time. I don't particularly care for it, but t's impact is undeniable.
4. Last Year at Marienbad: Has a wide influence, ranging from top-notch filmmakers like Bergman, Fellini, Kubrick, and Lynch, along with the James Bond series and commercials.
5. Breakfast at Tiffany's: Another hugely famous American classic. Audrey Hepburn's performance is her most iconic and the film's costume design has really made an impact in pop culture.
Honourable Mentions:
Viridiana: The film's reputation is growing, but I don't think it really has the influence to cut it.
La Notte: One of Antonioni's most prased and Kubrick's a fan, but again, I don't know if it has the influence.
Judgement at Nuremberg: I'm a big fan of this film and it was definitely a high profile film in its day, but we already have two Stanley Kramer films and they seem to have aged better.

Alright, I'll change Jules and Jim to Breakfast at Tiffany's then. Not because it's a better film than others I can select, but its influence is undeniable.
