Description

We are back with the 1941 Best Picture, How Green Was My Valley. It's the only Best Picture winner directed by the great John Ford, beating some very stiff competition. But this lovely film holds its own we think. It ranks at number 46 on our Best Picture Countdown.*


Spoiler Alert: We talk about the movie in its entirety, so if you haven't yet seen it, check it out. Or not. That ball is in your court.


*What is this list?


We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
