(January - May 2007) Kurosawa's Stray Dog is awesome. Thinking about it now, it's prob the best of the year. I really liked Gun Crazy! Having known little about it and then watching it I was quite pleased. All the King's Men, The Heiress, and A Letter to Three Wives were all Best Pic nominees and are all worthy. The Bicycle Thief is great too. A good way to end the '40s.

Also Seen - Intruder in the Dust (1949)

Top Ten -- All the Kings Men, Battleground, The Bicycle Thief, The Fallen Idol, Gun Crazy, The Heiress, A Letter to Three Wives, On the Town, Stray Dog, White Heat
