That's a voting thread for a poll that ended six years ago. This is not for a poll but intended for updating lists of favorite movies from the 40's, similar to the favorite movies of all time thread that is separate from the similarly themed voting thread.

I would however be up for voting in new updated polls for each decade if someone wanted to make them.
