1940s
| Title | Year | Director | Country | Genre | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rebecca | 1940 | Alfred Hitchcock |  | Thriller, mystery | |
| The Maltese Falcon | 1941 | John Huston | | Film-noir, mystery | |
| Casablanca | 1942 | Michael Curtiz | | Romance, drama | |
| The Seventh Victim | 1943 | Mark Robson | | Horror, film-noir | |
| Children of Paradise | 1945 | Marcel Carné |  | Drama, romance | |
| The Lost Weekend | 1945 | Billy Wilder | | Film-noir, drama | Although Billy Wilder's adaptation hews closely to Charles R. Jackson's novel, the novel differed in one respect: Birnam, played by Ray Milland in the movie, is described in the novel as being tormented by a homosexual incident in college. That is omitted from the film. |
| Gilda | 1946 | Charles Vidor | | Film-noir, drama | |
| Crossfire | 1947 | Edward Dmytryk | | Film-noir, crime | |
| Fireworks | 1947 | Kenneth Anger | | Drama | |
| Germany, Year Zero | 1948 | Roberto Rossellini |  | Drama | |
| Red River | 1948 | Howard Hawks | | Western | |
| Rope | 1948 | Alfred Hitchcock | | Crime, drama | |
| Words and Music | 1948 | Norman Taurog | | Musical, biography | Lorenz Hart (1895–1943) was a homosexual in an era when such was flatly unacceptable; the pressures of the closet drove him into a wildly self-destructive alcoholism that ultimately killed him. None of this is in the movie. |
| The Trip to Marrakesh | 1949 | Richard Eichberg |  | Drama | |
| Thirst | 1949 | Ingmar Bergman |  | Drama |
