The Grapes of Wrath (1940): John Ford, Henry Fonda and John Steinbeck

Directed by John Ford, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath (1940) ranks amongst the greatest American films ever made. Focusing on poor migrant workers from Oklahoma heading west to California during the Great Depression, the moving story still resounds with truth today. The cinematography alone makes The Grapes of Wrath a work of Art, but everything else about it works as well forming a truly magnificent achievement, and a landmark in cinema. The cast is wonderful, including Henry Fonda as Tom Joad, Jane Darwell and John Carradine.

The Ox-Bow Incident (1943): Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn

Directed by William A. Wellman, The Ox-Bow Incident (1943) is a powerful statement about the dangers of lynch mob justice, and it still resounds today over 70 years later. The story concerns a group of cowboys in 1885 Nevada, wrongly accused of murder by a mob, and hastily executed for the crime. The black and white cinematography is brilliant. The performances are extraordinary, including Henry Fonda, Harry Morgan, Dana Andrews, Mary Beth Hughes, Harry Davenport and Anthony Quinn in an early role.
