The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)Director: William Wyler
I just loved this movie. This is the kind of movie that I almost feel like discussing might cheapen. You should know that I love sentimentality in film. City Lights is the movie I always list as my favorite because it connects so well with me on a sentimental level.
This movie also has heart. Lots of conflicted hearts dealing with the unimaginable fall-out of having experienced war and coming home to a world that has also just been through the same war, but in a very different way. Naturally, nothing can be the same for anyone, but everyone wants it to be. If you've never seen it, you're missing out.
