The Films I Saw From 1944 Ranked From Best To Worst

Jon Hall and Dorothy Lamour in The Hurricane (1937)

Sean Connery and Ursula Andress in Dr. No (1962)

Have you ever been in a situation when you read a flims title or summary or saw a movie poster, a trailer or just some screen shots of a movie (especially of B-films) and you thought: "Wow, this looks like heaps of fun!"? You rented that film and after one and a half hours (at the most) you got that nagging feeling that someone stole that exact amount of precious quality lifetime from you. Well, basically this list is about those films. No matter how reduced your expectations had already been, no matter how much you care for flicks of that genre in general - these films did not even meet those expectations, not by a far shot. Even as a fan of trash films you refuse to acknowledge the existence of this list's entries, simply because a good trash film, even considering its manifold shortcomings, is at least fun. So beware, the films on this list are everything - except fun. Needless to say, I had quite some fun in doing this list, although it brought back painful memories. 

Feel free to comment on my choice of movies. 

PS: This list is by no means complete as I will add new worthwhile films as I stumble across them.

These are the titles in my collection that have not been sorted into my other special lists (Sci-Fi & Horror, European westerns, euro horror & fantasy, Asian action & martial arts, etc.)  There are no duplicate listings.  See my other lists if you are curious.  This list has action-adventure, crime, comedy, drama, historical, mysteries, war, westerns, & everything else.

Tura Satana in Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

Buck Jones and Ethel Kenyon in Branded (1931)

Adventures set in the jungles, plains, and rain forests of Africa, Asia, South America, New Guinea, etc...  Spanning over 100 years, mostly old-fashioned safari films, as well as the more dramatic ones that came later (Everything from Tarzan to Blood Diamond).

Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer in The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)

Bing Crosby, Barry Fitzgerald, and Risë Stevens in Going My Way (1944)
