The Greatest Years in Film History: 1939
By Newyorkgoomba on 04/20/2008
This quiz has received an Editor's Award for excellent content. Only the most unique and well written quizzes are
eligible for this award.
There are memorable films. There are film eras that evoke heights for a particular genre or genres. And rarely, there are single years that elicit an amazing body of work in themselves and can stand out to lovers of film of all ages. 1939 was one of those years, and perhaps the greatest year in film, coming as it did in the midst of Hollywood's Golden Era. But of course, Hollywood is but one creative corner and this series, which will highlight years such as 1940, 1942, 1962 and more recent years, will seek to include global cinema and not just the work of U.S. filmmakers.
So, get your organic popcorn and lowfat butter, grab an iced green tea and snuggle next to your domestic partner, we're going to the movies!
NOTE: All films used as answers in this quiz were released in 1939!
