Bette & Barbara. Myrna & Irene. Ginger & Norma. Doris & Ingrid. Lana…Rita…Ava. See, I don’t even have to give you their last names. You know immediately who I’m talking about. They are Stars. Their brilliance shine like beacons through the decades. And they ga read more
MY TIP TOP TOP TEN FAVORITE FILMS OF THE 1940’S
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
As I review my list of top ten favorites of each year, and compile my top ten favorites of the decade, I have to face the fact that as much as I want to tell myself I am a cock-eyed romantic, ( I am…I am ) my lists show me I am thoroughly and comfortably ensconced in the dark, where dark force read more

CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1949 It’s 1949. ( What, already? ) And you’ve been reading my list for days and weeks. I hope not. Hopefully my capsule-sized reviews are a swift, easy and entertaining read. Perhaps our favorites differ wildly. That’s cool. Share your list with me. Here in 194 read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1948
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1948 I’ve seen 33 movies this year. Jane Wyman wins an Oscar. A son helps his father win one too. Sensitive Monty squares off against The Duke. Doris Day begins her box office reign. I enjoy the stag film that is “Command Decision.” Stanwyck is terrorized and I’m traumatized read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1947
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1947 Looking at the past seven years of my favorites for this thread…I see I have a dark streak; I like noirish things. And this year is no different. I’ve seen forty films for this year, more than any year I’ve listed. It was tough to pick just ten ( better make that read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1946
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1946 The war is over and things are still a little dark on my list. I’ve seen thirty-five movies this year, and what a wonderful year for movies. I mean how can I go wrong with a list that contains the gorgeousness of Cary Grant, not to mention The Blonde, The Brunette and The read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1945
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1945 The war has ended. I’ve gone to thirty movies this year while the world became safe for democracy. I’ve enjoyed a few heartwarming family films this year (“Christmas in Connecticut” “Our Vine Has Tender Grapes” “A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.”) But mostly my favorite movie read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1944
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
“BATHING BEAUTY” – ( George Sidney ) It might not be your cuppa, but if you were around in 1944, you saw this movie. Here she is, ESTHER WILLIAMS in her first starring role, and she hits it out of the park…or rather, the pool, and all in glorious color too. It’s all Esther: statuesque, read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1943
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
“A GUY NAMED JOE” – ( Victor Fleming ) _____________________________________ “CABIN IN THE SKY” – ( Vincente Minnelli ) I prefer this film better to its sister film ( “Stormy Weather” ) because the story is a stronger one. Here you’ve got Heaven and Hell fighting for the read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1941
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
There were more great movies made this year than I realized. I could have looked like a smart movie buff if I picked ten classic high-brow movies. But I searched my heart, soul and guts ( a pretty messy prospect, I assure you ) and picked movies that I really really really like; they are like old fr read more
MY FAVORITE FILMS OF 1942
CineMaven's Essays from the Couch Posted by Theresa Brown on Jan 18, 2015
I would have been a crazy movie-going kid if I were around back in 1942. Now maybe it doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’d have seen thirty-two movies made that year. Probably more if I could sneak away from school or work. There are a plethora of classics made in 1942 that are still known seventy-plus read more
