Default Re: obscure MUST SEE movies

The Best Years of Our Lives is a must see. Impressive that this was made so close to the end of WW2 (1946)

This is about as far away from obscure as a movie can get. I have a Blockbuster "Greatest Movies of All Time" book handy and it leads off in 1946. Saw it last year on Netflix. IMO it's a great movie that probably would play well to a modern audience, i.e., it isn't dated.

BTW, WW2 ended on Sept 2, 1945. My Dad's Destroyer (USS Walke) was anchored behind the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay.
