Top 10 Films of the 1930s

Holmes Movies Podcast

Welcome to our 26th Top 10 Episode where Anders & Adam Holmes list their top 10 favourite films of the 1930s.

To round off this season of top 10 episodes, the Holmes Brothers will be going back and looking at each decade of cinema and listing their 10 favourite films of each decade.

This episode, they are going to be looking at the 1930s.

During the 1930s, sound films, talkies, dominated cinema and were a phenomenon. Silent films were very much a thing of the past. The 30s was the golden age of Hollywood and 1939 is considered one of the best years of cinema. The studio system was at its highest and The Hays Code was in full affect. Musicals, monster horror films, swashbuckling epics and even westerns were very popular. Escapist cinema at its best. It was also the decade of The Great Depression, the rise of fascist political movements and Europe was still dealing with the fallout of World War One. Where will films like The Lady Vanishes, 42nd Street, Stagecoach, La Grande Illusion and The Women land on their lists? Listen here to find out.

We hope you enjoy it and we hope you come back for more. On the next and last Top 10 episode, it's going to be about the 1920s and each of their 10 favourite films from that period. So stay tuned for that.
