Two things jump out at me from this and the 1940 Project: one, how many movies, despite decades of watching old movies, I haven't seen and, two, that Warner Bros is the studio I've seen the most movies from (grammar be damned).
These are fun. I hope you are copy and pasting and not typing them all out.

I only did the 1940s...this is why I started with 1940. But my goal is to do all the sound film years of the studio era, 1930 to 1959. So after I finish posting 1949, these will slow down, and I will continue from 1950 to 1959...then I will go back and get the 1930s.
I guess I have to think about moving them to a separate area on this message board, so they can all be found together. But I will decide that later.
Re: your comment about there being a lot of films we haven't seen...there are probably several factors...first, during the VHS and DVD eras, studios were quick to cash in by releasing the Oscar winners and the well-known "A" films meaning a lot of the "B" films fell out of circulation. When cable channels like American Movie Classics and Turner Movie Classics came along, they also tended to focus on the "A" films. TCM is very guilty of this practice, and they even give short shrift to "A" films that don't feature household names.
One reason I wanted to make these lists by year was to study the annual output...it's amazing to me when a studio releases 50 or more features per year. But then in the years before television, I guess there was a huge demand for product at the local cinemas.
Another reason I wanted to make these lists is that I will eventually start marking off which ones I have seen, then of those, which ones I have written reviews for...I know that there is no way I will see them all, because as we've discussed, they are not all available in viewable form, and since there are so many, I'd have to live to 150 to have enough time to watch and review each one! |
