I will back:

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Dragonwyck

The Black Cat
The Picture of Dorian Gray

We have our 21st film for the 40s.

Need to find ONE more, then we can move to select the Honorable Mentions.

Straker- you know The Black Cat is not the Karloff/Lugosi masterpiece- it's a lame comedy mystery.

For the 2 films to included in the 22, I back:

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)
The Invisible Man Returns (1940)

Unless we're allowed to choose from any of the list, in which I would switch out Invisible Man Returns with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1949 Animated Short), which although is 34 mins, I think is undoubtedly worthy of the the top 22.

LOL- Too many movies and too many dates... Dates are really not my strong point. :o

@ V- I'd like to retract my support for The Black Cat, since I've never seen it.

Thanks for the heads up NE. :D

We now have our 2nd chosen one from the 40s as well.

That leaves us with SEVEN films which have been backed, and can be shortlisted for Honorable Mentions. Do I see any negative votes for any one of them?

I'll negative vote The Black Cat (1941).

Done.

Anyone else with a different opinion for the 6 Honorable Mentions?

Those six look good to me.
