Favorite PRE-1950 Movie

[Il Duce]

Name your favorite movie that was made before 1950.
Mine would is It Happened One Night. Brilliant film.

Well I dunno what the BEST is, but I can tell ya that my favorite is, by far, It's A Wonderful Life (1946). I absolutly love that movie. Just a great Christmas movie, even though the only thing in it that has to do with Christmas is the last scene.
