Now that all the polls are out, I finished adding all the films and here's the complete list of the movies submitted as propaganda for @hotvintagepoll :

letterboxd.com

Vintage ladies propaganda

The movies listed for the hot vintage ladies poll Short disclaimer: the movies were submitted and not all checked and might be offensive (es

There are 946 movies on the list, but there were some I could not find on letterboxd that are missing (sorry).

On browser mode/the computer you can Control F to find a specific actress. On mobile or browser you can sort by language, genre, date, etc.

Letterboxd tells you when applicable where you can stream/rent/buy the film as well! (This is not an ad for letterboxd I swear)

Anyone can dm me if there are any mistakes and I'll fix them asap!

I'll share the disclaimer again just in case: these movies are chosen by whoever submitted them and do not mean they are suggested by @hotvintagepoll. I tried to put warnings for really offensive elements on the movies I've seen/could think of but I'm definitely forgetting some and will gladly add warnings on movies that need them (dm me for anything I should add)!

Happy watching!

LANA TURNER does her part, 1942 She was a pin-up girl of the first order. She was a soldier’s dream during World War II, officially “The Girl We’d Like to Be Stranded on a Deserted Island With,” “The Girl We’d Like to Find in Every Port,” and “The Most Gorgeous, Spectacular, and Pulse-stirring Thing on High Heels.” The 18th Bomb Squadron of the U.S. Air Force painted her on the nose of their B-17 and named the plane “Tempest Turner.” In 1942 she raised $50,000 selling war bonds with kisses and her efforts altogether brought in an estimated $5,000,000. Back home she was a regular at the Hollywood Canteen and on the studio lot she played hostess to large groups of soldiers. She also performed broadcats for Armed Forces Radio, where soldiers could have any wish come true, no matter how random, if it could be transmitted over the airwaves. They could hear Carole Landis sigh, Judy Garland sing “Over the Rainbow,” or Lana Turner cook a porterhouse steak smothered with onions. That’s the request that was made of her and she was happy to oblige. Visiting hospitals was the most difficult because she was easily affected by injuries and sad stories. The soldiers loved her. They were convinced she was the last pretty girl they would ever see. - LANA: THE MEMORIES, THE MYTHS, THE MOVIES
