You've mentioned that LP before and I keep neglecting to get it! 
Right now i'm listening to "Tangerine Dream"......(UK) Kaleidoscope 1967. NICE!
1967 is the greatest year music history, like 1939 was the greatest year in movies!!

I would love to know why you think 1939 was the greatest year in movies? |

That is the general consensus...most historians of film will concur.......
Google- 1939 in movies........my opinion agrees.
The Wizard of OZ...that one alone makes this year!!
Wuthering Heights
Gone With The Wind
Goodbye Mister Chips
Beau Geste
Dark Victoey
Gunga Din
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Mr Smith Goes to Washington
Destry Rids Again
Each Day I Die
The Hound, & Adventures, of Sherlock Holmes
Love Affair
Of Mice and Men
Only Angels Have Wings (considered Howard Hawks best film)
Ninotchka
The Roaring Twenties
Stagecoach
The Women
Young Mr Lincoln
Plenty of good years and eras...I just really like 1939 as the best of the Golden Age of Hollywood ( I didn't name it).....but I agree.
That's why.......but then you gotta love classic movies as i do.

| There are of course some who would say that cinema's greatest masterpieces all precede 1929! But to my mind, the greatest year is always this year! So many intelligent movies seem to emerge continually from all over the world. Back in 1976, New York film critic, Pauline Kael summed up her movie viewing over the previous four years in a book called Reeling. She explained that apart from title's obvious cinematic connection, 'Reeling' also summed her sense of excitement whenever a new cinema experience awaited her. That's how it is with me as well. |

This is a very good point here. Must say I've never read any film historians waxing lyrical, particularly, about 1939 but maybe LK and I have read different stuff (I tend to read British/European for a start)?
I think LK has listed some excellent films from 1939 (along with some I find deadly dull) but I am sure I could come up with equally good lists from many other years if I cared to spend some time thinking about it.
Like John, I prefer to think that there is always great stuff to come, as in music, I prefer to keep up with what is current whilst still loving much from the past. |

| I went to the site and I think it's great to see how the modern links up with the English folk past. Real liked John Barlycorn and Hard Times of Olde England... |
