| How Green Was My Valley (1941) |
The movie was watchable, but was not anything epic, in my opinion.
Why did it win Best Picture? All I can think of is that it was a snapshot of life in the coalmines at the turn of the 20th Century put into film.

How Green Was My Valley (1941): 14th Winner for Best Picture
Date viewed: 29 January 2012
This black and white film was set in Wales in a village that was mainly a coal mining town. It followed the lives of a family who lived there. The themes in the filmed mainly revolved around the family who sought the career of their family (in the coalmines), but also explored the possibility of greater job prospects outside of town.
The movie was watchable, but was not anything epic, in my opinion.
