I'm not taking sides here, but wanted to point out that there were a couple of good films in the same years as the cited movies. Starting with 1939:
1939:Gone With The Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Of Mice and Men, Stagecoach (What do you think Firefly is based on), The Wizard of Oz.
1941: Citizen Kane, How Green Was My Valley, The Maltese Falcon, Sergeant York.
1943: Casablanca, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Ox-Bow Incident, Watch on the Rhine.
I'll stop here, but there were lots of good films during the period in question.
