This month, I'll write about my favourite films from the 1940s. These films hold a special place in my heart because I watched them with my mom, who recounted her teenage experiences of seeing them in the local movie theatre. We would chat about the movies afterward, appreciating the memorable performances and gripping stories. Those cozy movie nights with dinner or snacks inspired Flicks & Forks!
