Dear Love Me a Movie Timeline,


This is such a fun question but it’s so hard to pick because there are tons of great movies out there! I tried to highlight some movies that I haven’t mentioned on the blog before but had to include some favorites you’ve already heard about too.

Dracula (1931)

1940s

It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)

I’ve only seen a handful of movies from 2020 and 2021 and none of them blew me away, so you’ll have to wait about a decade for this part of the list.


Sincerely,
