Hello, everyone! Since the 2010s end this year, I thought it would be fun to start making \u201cTop 10\u201d lists for films from every decade. I decided to start with the 1930s because it was a significant time in film history. \u201cTalkies\u201d (movies with sound) came about in the late 1920s, but they became the standard during the 1930s (now I have an entertaining mental image of Avengers: Endgame<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span> as a silent film, with the little dialogue cards popping up all the time).<\/p>\n

The 1930s were also the time of the Great Depression. I can only imagine how hard it would be for those who wanted to experience the new technology in the latest films but couldn\u2019t afford to go. If I were alive then, I know I would save any spare change I had to make my way to the movies. I wouldn\u2019t let those hard times keep me from getting to the movie theater (my wife is trying to convince me that minor things, like bread and milk, would be higher priorities).<\/p>\n

The Universal monster movies were another significant development in the 1930s. I\u2019m sure the likes of Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Mummy scared the pants off everyone who had seen them.<\/p>\n

In college, I learned about the Hays Code. It was a list of expectations for motion pictures developed by Will H. Hays, the first chairman of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA). Examples of these expectations included no nudity, no ridicule of religion, no illegal drug use, upholding the sanctity of marriage, and much more. I wonder what he would think of today\u2019s movies.<\/p>\n

Enough of my rambling. In no particular order, here are my Top Ten Films of the 1930s!<\/p>\n

Duck Soup<\/em> (1933)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Duck<\/a>
Paramount Pictures. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

As you\u2019ve probably discovered, I love to quote movies. Many of my favorites are recent(ish) comedies, such as\u00a0The Big Lebowski<\/em>\u00a0(1998) or\u00a0Dumb and Dumber<\/em>\u00a0(1994). But when I quote\u00a0Duck Soup<\/em>, my friends look at me as if I\u2019m nuts. I have to explain to them that films like Duck Soup <\/em>influenced most of the comedic gems we love today.<\/p>\n

When I think of the dialogue from\u00a0Duck Soup<\/em>, I can\u2019t help but smile. One of my favorite lines is when Groucho offers a playing card to a woman. She asked what to do with the card, and he replied, \u201cKeep it, I have fifty-one left.\u201d This comedy was definitely way ahead of its time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Wizard of Oz<\/em> (1939)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"The<\/a>
MGM. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

This was a childhood favorite. The contrast of sepia turning to vivid color still amazes me. I\u2019m usually not a big fan of musicals, but I love the music in this movie. Everything from \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow\u201d to \u201cIf I Only Had a Heart\u201d speaks to the audience. You feel the characters\u2019 emotions when they sing. I look forward to watching this film with my future kids someday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

King Kong<\/em> (1933)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"King<\/a>
RKO Radio Pictures. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

King Kong<\/em> is one of the most amazing films I\u2019ve ever seen! The stop-motion animation of the title Kong and other creatures on the uninhabited island is impressive. Even today, with the great strides that have been made in visual effects, the work on\u00a0King Kong<\/em>\u00a0is still incredible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wuthering Heights<\/em> (1939)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Wuthering<\/a>
United Artists. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

The cinematography in this film is beautiful! I\u2019m not the only one who thinks so, because it won an Oscar for that category. The moonlit scenes and the soft candlelight spoke to me when I watched the film. The lighting played a huge role in illustrating this beautiful love story \u2013 it\u2019s simply remarkable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

City Lights<\/em> (1931)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"City<\/a>
United Artists. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

When film studios first decided to use sound in their films, Charlie Chaplin decided not to be what we now call an \u201cearly \u00a0adopter.\u201d He chose to make\u00a0City Lights<\/em>\u00a0as another silent film, and I think it works very well. And it has an ending that makes you want to cry tears of joy every time you see it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Chump at Oxford<\/em> (1939)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"A<\/a>
United Artists. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

Laurel and Hardy are at their peak in this abundantly hilarious film! The duo decides to go back to school to learn the three R\u2019s: \u201cReading, \u2018Riting, and \u2018Rithmetic.\u201d They choose Oxford to get the best education possible, but the other snobby students are less-than-welcoming and do what they can to get rid of the pair.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ninotchka<\/em> (1939)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Ninotchka\"<\/a>
MGM. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

I haven\u2019t seen Ninotchka<\/em> in years, but I still remember the chemistry between Ninotchka and Leon (Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas). They play off each other so well that it makes me wonder if George Lucas had them in mind when he imagined Han Solo and Princess Leia, the way they ignore their attraction in favor of badgering each other. This film is a classic example of \u201clove\/hate\u201d relationships, told in a delightfully funny way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

M<\/em> (1931)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"M\"<\/a>
Foremco Pictures Corporation. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

Legendary director Fritz Lang\u2019s first \u201ctalkie,\u201d this film is one of the earliest examples of film noir brilliance. It is set in a sinister world where children go missing and the police and citizens are on a manhunt for the abductor. That sentence alone describes a plot not for the faint of heart. It has some disturbing elements but is nonetheless a remarkable film that has paved the way for a whole new generation of crime films.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bringing Up Baby<\/em> (1938)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"Bringing<\/a>
RKO Radio Pictures. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

One of the best pairings of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, Bringing Up Baby<\/em> was way ahead of its time. I find it odd that this was Hepburn\u2019s first comedy since she was such a perfect fit for the role. Grant, of course, had roots in Vaudeville, so he was already a tenured comedian.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It Happened One Night<\/em> (1934)<\/h2>\n
\n

\"It<\/a>
Columbia Pictures. Image from IMDb.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/figure>\n

Achieving the first \u201cclean sweep\u201d of the Oscars, It Happened One Night<\/em> won Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, and Screenplay. This coup would not be seen again until\u00a01975, with One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest<\/em>. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert had great chemistry together and brought out the best in each other. This is one of the earliest examples of a great romantic comedy.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed compiling this list for you. The 1930s produced so many terrific films, truly setting the bar high for their successors.\u00a0 At first, I figured it would be hard to find ten films I loved from the first decade of \u201ctalkies,\u201d but I ended up having to trim the list! I look forward to making more \u201cbest of\u201d lists by decade!<\/p>\n

Happy watching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
