The Wizard of Oz (1939) - who doesn't know this movie
City Lights (1931) - the most notable Charles Chaplin film ever (the gold rush (1925) nearly pales in comparison)

Song Of The South (1946) -most people don't know this movie because it's been banned but the song Zippity do da. Zippity-ay came from it. sang by Uncle Remus'
Citizen Kane i've seen it a couple of times and i thought is was an excellent film--great acting, plot, editing. i was particularly impressed with how the movie was directed and most of the time i was just so amazed with the cinematography. these are some of the reason why i thought the film was exceptional.

Meet John Doe
Any of the Three Stooges shorts (we're counting those, right?)

Uh, girlie? It's not often I want to reach across the internet and throttle somebody for exhibiting such stupidity. You should feel honored.
The Three Stooges had their biggest successes in the 30's and 40's. They made 130 features during those two decades, including "Restless Knights", "Hoi Polloi" and "Pardon my Scotch" (1935),
"Disorder in the Court" (1936), "You Nazty Spy" and "A-plumbing we will Go" (1940), "The Brideless Groom" (1947) and a host of others.
John Wayne is from the 50's, 60's and 70's??? He was in 70 films throughout the 30's, and his breakthrough role came in 1939 ("Stagecoach")! Some of his greatest films are from the 40's! Do you even know who John Wayne is? Look him up! In fact, do a little research before you chastise somebody.

Mr. Zero I'm starting to believe we were the ones separated at birth!
doesn't Lauren Bacall have the sexiest voice..I just love her and bogey!
oh my goodness! how could I not add the three stooges to my list! Men in Black (1934) is my favotite one,it's the only Three Stooges short to be nominated for an Oscar.
also some more of my personal faves are -You Nazty Spy! (1940) ,I'll Never Heil Again (1941) ,Violent Is the Word for Curly (1938)
