That was a marvelous film!

I'm sure most gearheads could identify with the line Cary Grant gives: "I've just gone GAY all of a sudden!" :P

: Modern Times
: The Great Dictator (Anybody remember Chaplin?)
: My Man Godfrey
: Madam Satan (by Cecil B. DeMille) - it has a Zepplin in it!
: Little Caesar (The era of the gangster film has begun)
: The Public Enemy (Cagney, more gangsta stuff)
: And some adventure movies:
: Lost Horizon
: King Kong
: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
: The Mummy
: Tarzan
: Captain Blood
: Island of Lost Souls
: Mutiny on the Bounty
: China Seas

: Lots of escapist (and propganda too) stuff can be found among movies that deal with then current problems and issues. Just look at all those screwball comedies I didn't list.

: PS: Censorship was still a hot issue in the 30's. Religious organizations, backed by William Randolph Hearst, pressured the movie industry.
