Decade in review - 1930s

For the next four days i will be reviewing each decade (from 30s-60s). So lets start with the :

                        1930s

Because of the depression, people wanted movies that made them forget of their troubles. Comedies were prevalent. Stars like Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, John Wayne, Bette Davis, and Clark Gable are at their peak.

• The 1930s started with some classics like All Quiet on the Western Front, King Kong, Scarface, M, Frankenstein, and City Lights.

• A new genre called Screwball Comedies was created. The 1930s has some of the best comedies in the history of cinema such as Bringing Up Baby, The Awful Truth, It Happened One Night, The Women, Modern Times, My Man Godfrey, Duck Soup, The Thin Man, The Music Box, Libeled Lady, and MUCH more...
• Many adventure films like The Adventures of Robin Hood, Captain Blood, Mutiny on The Bounty, Captains Courageous, and Gunga Din.
• 1939. Only the greatest year in movies. with such titles as Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Stagecoach, Dark Victory, Wuthering Heights, Gunga Din, The Women...Any other year and most of these movies would have swept the Oscars.

My favorite 1930s movies are: Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Bringing Up Baby, The Awful Truth, The Women, It Happened One Night, The Adventures of Robin Hood, A Night At The Opera, Duck Soup, and The Lady Vanishes.

Tomorrow i will review the 1940s.
