You can feel Hollywood gearing up for the impressive year of 1939 as 1938 is no slouch.
Also, and this is just an impression (I didn't look back or do any counting) reading these great posts Topbilled has been doing of each year, but it felt like the "teenager" movie really broke out in 1938 - Hardy, Drew and others.

Tarzan's Revenge coming from Fox really jumped out for me. I'd forgotten about that one. I wonder how the rights thing was hashed out with MGM. Glenn Morris was no Johnny Weissmuller, that's for sure. Re: Fading Fast's point about Andy Hardy and Nancy Drew, it seems Blondie and Torchy Blaine were also just getting under way, though maybe slewed to an older audience. I chuckled when I noticed Columbia's The Terror of Tiny Town. Years ago an older couple of my acquaintance, when they found out I liked older movies, apparently had some kind of pent-up need to talk about that film. At that point I hadn't seen it so they were more than happy to fill me in. I never really warmed up to the movie but I loved their enthusiasm. Overall, I think my personal favorite of the year is George Cukor's Holiday. Yes, it feels stagey and set-bound, but I never get tired of watching it. Grant and Hepburn are wonderful and Lew Ayers is also a standout with his remarkably unsentimental portrayal of her alcoholic brother. I find it hard to believe he wasn't nominated that year.
