The MoFo Top 100 Movies of the 1930s Countdown
It's time to get this show on the road! The 1930s are often called the Golden Age of Movies and people by the millions went weekly to the theaters to see their favorite stars and forget their troubles....The world was in an economic slump called the Great Depression and movies helped to lift people's spirits out of their doldrums....The 1930s ushered in the sound era and full Technicolor films too and all the familiar genres and character arch types were laid down on celluloid. We wouldn't be where we are today if the film pioneers of the 1930s hadn't forged the way.MoFo's 1930s Top 100 Movies Countdown Ever since I joined MoFo, I've said that I would host the 1930s Countdown. Promises made, promises kept. The Rules...the rules are like all the other countdowns, so no surprises here.
So there's 5 months of film-watching time before the deadline to get your voting list in. Try to revisit some old 1930s favorites and watch a bunch you've never seen before. The more 1930s films you watch the better your voting list will be. The 1930s are a great decade for films so lets make this work MoFos!

PM me with whatever help you need mate, more than happy to help out. |
Why do a decade with such an obvious number 1?

Awesome, I truly love this decade I've seen close to 500 films from this era so I'll be curious to see if anyone has any recommendations that It'll click with me.

The countdown is all of ours and I'm just a clerk, the guy who will tally up the scores and post the movies that make the countdown, but it's all of us who will make it happen and I really hope our fellow MoFos can come together and make this countdown work.

Is there a lower limit on number of movies for partial lists CR?
