Billy Wilder, who had won the Academy Award for Best Director the previous year with The Lost Weekend(1945), hailed it as “the best-directed film I’ve ever seen in my life.”

It’s amazing that 70 years later this movie still delivers. Excellent in every way. Watched it numerous times

You have to appreciate the irony: the banker who comes out of the war a sergeant and the soda-jerk winds up an Army Air Corps captain. I never tire of watching this film.

Me too. She’s the only actor nominated for an Oscar for her first 3 films (Little Foxes, Mrs Miniver and Pride Of The Yankees) and was the youngest actor to have a 3rd Oscar nomination (she was 24 when she was nominated for Pride Of The Yankees) and held that record for 70 years until Jennifer Lawrence broke her record. But this is my favourite from her, also starred in The Rainmaker (1997) directed by Francis Ford Coppola who considers The Best Years Of Our Lives to be one of his all time favourites (Teresa Wright admired him for that film and his efforts and determination on Apocalypse Now).

Best Years- (for the love of- The Best Years of our lives) Long ago, when I came in a wounded world portrayed in film had more emotion joy and thrill than winning at that lottery till the longing queues lucky to find a seat to view for the first time The quintessential homeward friends who had the chance to start again against a world unknown and strange to overcome their damaged frames Each character just like you and I Al and Fred and Homer strived like musketeers of 45' So well defined yet scarred so deep from combat fort there to repeat a greater fight against the change where world moved on they stayed the same Made up it may be the on screen No greater reality I've seen in life than these fictitious beings Who play their part without an end I'll watch you till my senses send a message to my brain and say Best years I wished I'd lived your way Michael Ball, author, poet, artist and composer, but most of all being blessed to love a timeless masterpiece
